These unique frames are so named because the illusion they create is that your artwork is "floating" within the frame instead of being covered by it — perfect for displaying a gallery wrap canvas where no staples are visible. The canvas easily attaches to the stretcher bars from the back side with screws.
Blick is pleased to offer three color options in a variety of popular sizes to accommodate 3/4", 7/8", or 1-1/2" deep canvases. Great care is taken in finishing the wood, and all colors are hand-applied. The Gold Leaf frame features several brush coats of gold leaf, and the Gold Crackle frame achieves its distinctive appearance via a special burnishing technique.
These beautiful frames in gold leaf are finished with the "Old World" technique of showing hand leafing lines between each individual leaf that reveals a thin black separation line.
Choose Blick Floater Frames for a stunning presentation every time!
Note — Frames are sized by the opening, not by the outside of the molding. To determine the size of frame to order, measure the outside of your artwork and order that size frame.
Frame Depth — To find a frame that will accommodate your artwork, measure the depth of the artwork, including any matting or mounting materials, and order a frame with a depth that is, at a minimum, the same as that measured depth.
Color Matching — We do our best to match the color of frames, both on our website photography and in our catalogs, but differences in technology may affect the appearance of the photo on your screen. You are entitled to return, for refund or credit, any frame that does not meet your expectations. Remember that the frame size is the size of the artwork a frame is designed to hold, not the exterior dimensions.

I bought several of these frames for an upcoming show. Made in Mexico, they are excellent value for the money, and a good investment when preparing to hang a lot of art.

Awful! Sizing off completely

Comments about Blick Floater Frames:
I was so annoyed - ordered four frames - 12 x 12 for my 12" paintings (that were painted on Dick Blick brand 12" x 12" canvases). The backs of the frames were too short and the holes to drill the floating frames onto the stretcher frames line up outside of the painting. I thought maybe I could patch up the holes, paint the frames, and drill new holes, but there was not enough wood on the backs of the frames to do that.
Entirely unusable and a waste of my time.

I purchased these frames due to time constraints in getting ready for a show. Now I'm buying them because they are a better deal than making them myself.

Comments about Blick Floater Frames:
This is great frame for a contemporay look. The canvas does float so no portion of the image is obscured by the frame edges. It is a bit heavier (edges are wider) than the photo appears, but it is not out of scale. Requires 4 small screws to hold the canvas. These are NOT included and really should be. Very sturdy. Some slight imperfections in the wood, but no damage in shipment. I will purchase this frame for other work now that I have tested it. I bought the black/black so am unable to comment on the other colors.
