Perspex Box FramesThe glued perspex box is made up of a lid with four sides all of which have to be glued together with a special clear glue. This can show up small bubbles it the joint but are usually small and not a distraction. This method of making perspex box frames while beautifully sharp, has a disadvantage it that large frames can be a little weak and must be handled with care not to damage them.
But you would handle art with care anyway! Another aspect of gluing the sides is that they can be made of another material like an opaque acrylic which can give an interesting look.
The base of these frames can be made from either a very rigid foamex or a wooden sub frame with a foamcor on top, both can be seen through the side wall of the frame and so are usually painted white. Please note: Due to the delicacy of these frames, we do not ship out of Ireland. |

Dorothy Cross, Perspex Case.
Dorothy Cross, Finger crab in sterling silver. We made this perspex case for this sculpture by Irish Artist Dorothy Cross. The brief for this work was that it was to be a wall mounted piece and because of this we included a mirror at the base to allow viewing of the detail from below. |
