Item for Black History Month
Brooklyn entrepreneur, Gail Parris, has discovered a void in the fine arts market and created Authentic African Art Frames (AAAF), a business offering specialty wooden picture frames crafted by highly skilled South African Zulu artisans.
Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) February 10, 2005 -- According to Ms. Parris, she got
the idea for this business after unsuccessfully searching for frames that would
heighten the images in her own African art collection. She came to the
conclusion that others might be having the same problem. Armed with a deep sense
of commitment, she resolved to fill this gap and availed herself of every
resource available. Ms Parris conducted extensive research to determine the
feasibility of such a business and after consulting with professionals in
several business areas, she founded Authentic African Art Frames.
The
stylistically carved wooden frames come in a variety of finishes including earth
tones, metallics (silver, gold, bronze and pewter) and striking black and white
contrasts. The frames are created using Ghanaian wawa wood, a major African
tropical hardwood, light in weight and color and suitable for picture frames
mouldings. The light color of the wood makes it particularly amenable to stains,
giving artisans flexibility in their creative designs.
“The versatility
of the frames is apparent, and they can be used to frame mirrors, artwork,
fabric, certificates and other items that need to be brought to life,” said Ms.
Parris. She advises clients to take their frames and personal treasures to their
favorite framer who will professionally mount and finish the items with glass
and backing. The frames come in various sizes ranging from 5” x 7” , 8” x 10” ,
and 11” x 14” . Ms. Parris sees these authentic African art frames as the
perfect accessory for enhancing one’s home and office, or for personal and
corporate gift giving.
