Our company

Rojos-lijsten is one of the youngest moulding companies in Europe.
Rojos-lijsten is manufacturer of handcrafted wooden mouldings for frames, all desirable colours, profiles and amounts.
Because of our flexibility we can fulfil very quickly the special needs and wishes of our clients.
From the moulding-profiles and other raw materials to precious surface materials like aluminium and brass metal leafs up to finished picture-frames, all processing steps are made in our own facilities.

Process

The very first thing that Rojos-lijsten does is the purchasing of first class materials for its mouldings.
Rojos-lijsten offers in the designing and production of its mouldings all kinds of possibilities.

One of the factors in which Rojos-lijsten makes the difference is the "extrude-foundation" of its mouldings. The art of this procedure is a traditional centuries-old technique. It is a long and detailed procedure to which the experts of Rojos-lijsten devote all their abilities and expertise.
Because of their more than 45-years of experience Rojos-lijsten is one of the few companies in Holland that still practice this craftsmanship.

Making the moulding

Once milled, approximately eight coats of gesso - a mixture of chalk, water and special glue - are applied to the moulding. After this treatment the moulding is ready for gilding. When the mixtion is applied we can apply the metal leafs of gold or/and silver after a drying period of some hours. The next step is to polish the leafs on the moulding to extract the maximum brightness from the leaf.
Finally, the moulding is varnished with shellac to provide a lasting protective shine and to prevent oxidation.
At last we can finish the moulding as you desire with antiquening and/or applying a patina.

Notes

Rojos-lijsten will always be open for ideas and suggestions from their clients what will lead to a colder co-operation.

Rojos-lijsten guarantees that a moulding specially made for our client always will be their moulding.
