Gold Lights for Picture Frames

Gold, our most popular picture light finish, has the look of pale gold leaf. Because our picture lights are found in the finest museums, smooth painted gold finish and also a wrinkled gold painted finish has been painstakingly developed to suit the museum frames they highlight. Because gold symbolizes perfection, love and beauty, it is no wonder that a majority of picture frames are gold to show the images they frame are cherished.

The wrinkled gold finish uses a two step application. First a base coat of textured lacquer is applied, giving an uneven, distressed appearance. The process is completed with a rich gold color coat, to create Wrinkled Gold; the result is an aged, old world look, highlighted in gold.

Of our House of Troy picture lights several of the best sellers of all time are Gold. For example the BT24-1, a traditional classic style, 24" wide frame, this is suitable to illuminate an image approximately 48" wide.

Several other popular sizes in the traditional classic family are the BT5-1 (a 5" gold picture light) for 10" images, and the BT8-1 (an 8" gold picture light) for 16" framed artwork. Please note that the shade size should be approximately half of the image size, not the frame size.

The RR line - or Richardson Reflector - is another version of the traditional style, with a ball swivel adjustment at the shade for optimum directionality. The chief difference between the traditional style and the RR style is in the arm that appends to the frame - the RR line attaches to the frame and comes up, then angles over with its adjustable shade arm, while the traditional line extends straight out from the top of the frame, adjusting the distance of the shade from the frame in a direct manner. The Richardson Reflector line is not available in gold wrinkle finish, but all sizes are available in gold.

All of the T line House of Troy traditional frames that are available in a gold finish are also available in gold wrinkle. For example the T30-2 is the Traditional 30" Gold Wrinkle Picture Light.
