These unique solid wood 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.
The Blick Grande Floater Frame features a 1-3/8" thick moulding — for when you want to make a grand statement! Three color combinations are available in a variety of popular sizes to accommodate 3/4" deep 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.
Because our Blick Grande Floater Frames are finished using an "Old World" technique, the individual leaves are separated by a visible line. This thin line is inherent to the hand-leafing process and should not be considered a defect in the frame’s appearance.
Choose Blick Grande 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.
Unfortunately these are very cheap looking; low quality wood, the grain is visible under the paint, the miters are not tight. And the extra bonus was that the paint was already chipped when I received them. Avoid.

Comments about Blick Grande Wood Floater Frames:
I used these frames for paintings on 1 inch seated board. They fit perfectly and were so easy. Most importantly they "framed" my work in a dramatic but not flashy way. I got the gold crackle finish. The black inset brings out the colors in the paintings while the gold frame lends class. I always (for 25+ years)go to Dick Blick when I need art or framing supplies.

Comments about Blick Grande Wood Floater Frames:
Although I would recommend to a friend, I would with reservations. When I opened the packaging, a small amount the gold leafing came off onto the brown paper wrapping on three of the frames at one corner of each. The hassel of returning them kept me from doing so as I was in a gallery show in several days. Hope this helps in not disappointing other customers.

I love, love, love this frame! I like that the painting looks like it is "floating" free from the borders of the frame. The cracked gold looks even better than the photograph. I will be buying more! This frame displays my paintings very well indeed!
