Q: What type of wood are the frames made out of?

A: Our frames are made from either Ramon (hardwood) or Jeltong wood that are harvested then milled and stained in Italy to achieve the highest quality finish. The wood mouldings are kiln-dried and are either sprayed with oil-based lacquer or stain finish to achieve the highest durability and its elegant quality finish. All wood used in production of our frames are farm grown - not from the rain forest. We pride ourselves in helping preserve our rain forest.
