The Frame Collector

An article from ther Proceedings of the Athanasius Kircher Society, about Olaf Lemke, who collects antique frames. The photos remind me of a store in Paris's antinuque district on the right bank that my mother and I visited that exclusively sold antique frames. Our eyes fell on a nice pair of gilt wooden baroque frames that did not look in particularly good condition but were beautiful nonetheless. Naturally we were rather shocked at the price that was close to US $10,000!
