Yeah, that framing costs a small fortune!  Maybe we're in the wrong game.

Which newspaper did you cut the picture from?  And what is it hiding?

I like the picture.....But £200 for the frame !

Overall package may be a wonderful thing ; but does cause me to raise the following question....

Is this a case of You've  Been Framed ?  ;)

Glass was over £100 by itself as it is non reflecting rather than your Ikea stuff  :))

Solid metal frame as well, not wood.

And it is bigger than that size ...
