Larson Juhl Spencer Collection: Luxurious Finishes Meet Rustic Charm
Articient is proud to feature the Spencer Collection from Larson Juhl, one of the world's most respected frame manufacturers. This collection is a masterful study in contrasts, blending luxurious, refined finishes with an appealingly rustic charm. The Spencer series is defined by its unique concave face, which is adorned with elegant metallic leaf finishes in gold and silver. This sophisticated face is then juxtaposed with rustic, raked wood sides, creating a stunning textural and visual contrast that makes each frame a versatile choice for both contemporary and traditional artwork.
The Signature Spencer Profile: A Study in Contrasts
The genius of the Spencer collection lies in its unique profile. The gentle concave slope of the frame's face, finished with a luminous metallic leaf, creates a sense of depth that draws the viewer's eye inward toward the art. This smooth, luxurious surface is then unexpectedly paired with deeply textured, raked wood sides. This juxtaposition of sleek and rustic, refined and raw, is what gives the Spencer frame its unique character and broad appeal, allowing it to bridge the gap between modern and traditional design aesthetics.
A Palette of Sophisticated Pairings
The Spencer collection is available in several curated colorways, each offering a distinct mood:
Gold Face with Black Side (Spencer I: #574150): A best-selling combination, this frame offers classic, high-contrast luxury. The warmth of the shimmering gold face against the deep, rustic black side is both elegant and dramatic. Our popular "Reid" frame features this stunning finish.
Silver Face with Warm Gray Side (Spencer I: #574151): This pairing delivers cool, contemporary sophistication. The sleek, bright silver face is perfectly balanced by the soft, neutral tones of the warm gray side, making it ideal for both vibrant and minimalist art pieces.
Lemon Gold Face with Off-White Side (Spencer II: #574154): For a brighter, more contemporary feel, the vibrant lemon gold face shines beautifully against a subtly textured, off-white wood grain side. This pairing has a modern appeal that is both fresh and refined.
Silver Face with Black Side (Spencer II: #574152): This option provides a bold, graphic, and modern look. The cool brilliance of the silver leaf face against a strong black side creates a striking statement, perfect for highlighting contemporary art and photography.
