SendAFrame.com Partners with Leading Antique Frame Brokerage and
Auction House
New York, NY - April 17, 2002 - SendAFrame, Inc. (www.SendAFrame.com), the
Internet photo and fashion frame company, and Balfour & Wessels Framefinders Inc. (www.Framefinders.com); America's first antique frame brokerage and
auction house, announced a strategic marketing alliance. Under the terms of
the agreement, SendAFrame.com will be the exclusive table photo frame
sellers for Framefinders, providing access to unique, hard to find, antique
photo frames circa 1870 to 1925.
SendAFrame has partnered with Framefinders to make available
to customers the finest of antique table frame selections. The Framefinders
alliance enables SendAFrame users to first view their photographs in these
authentic and fine antique frames before making their purchase.
"We are thrilled to be partners with SendAFrame.com," said
Edward Charles Balfour, CEO of Framefinders Inc. "We have seen a renewed
interest and appreciation in authentic, antique frames and we are
happy to make them accessible to SendAFrame customers.”
Examples of these exciting offerings are frames by
well-known Charles Eastlake, a British architect, tastemaker and author of
the 1800’s Arts & Crafts movement. Eastlake broke the traditional, heavily
carved and gilded style of the period by producing frames with overlaying
composition molding over wood incised with abstract geometric designs.
