THE ANNUAL MEETING was held March 21 at St. John’s Church, Warsaw. The day began with a brief business meeting followed by lunch and then a presentation on “The History and Artistry of Traditional Gilt Frames,” by Conservators F. Carey Howlett and Sandy Jensen, including the history and styles of traditional
gilt frames and the variety of nuanced techniques used to gild them. The talk included a case study of the large gilt frame they designed and fabricated for the reproduction of Charles Willson Peale’s life-sized portrait of William Pitt at Stratford Hall.
