Painted Desert: Where Tradition Meets Trend

Painted Desert: Where Tradition Meets Trend

There’s something captivating about a desert at golden hour - the soft glow, the depth of tone, the feeling of timelessness. That same quiet elegance inspired Nurre Caxton’s newest moulding collection: Painted Desert. 

Designed for today’s interiors but rooted in enduring style, Painted Desert blends classic profiles with an updated palette of sunwashed hues, earthy neutrals, and one striking black. It’s the perfect intersection of artful framing and home fashion. 

Six Ultra-Matte Finishes, Hand-Painted in Italy

 

From the warm radiance of Sun to the grounding sophistication of Noir, each color is applied by hand in Italy, resulting in a soft, ultra-matte finish that feels both contemporary and refined. The collection includes: 

  • Fog
  • Sage 

  • Grey

  • Sun

  • Clay

  • Noir

Two Profiles. Endless Possibilities. 

Nouveau (176) – A classic lamb’s tongue detail, subtle and timeless 

Deco (177) – Simply elegant with a clean, architectural line

With their painterly finish and balanced proportions, both profiles are ideal for framing fine art, photography, and needlework - bringing just the right amount of presence to the piece without overwhelming it. 

Exclusive to Nurre Caxton 

Available only from Crescent Brands through Nurre Caxton, Painted Desert mouldings offer a designer-forward alternative for framing projects that demand sophistication, subtlety, and craftsmanship.
