Frame Depth — The depth of a frame refers to the depth of the frame's rabbet (the cut-out area behind the frame's molding that holds your artwork in place). 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.

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, including mat, and order that size frame. The frame will overlap your artwork ¼" all the way around, so your artwork will fit nicely behind the frame's molding.

Nielsen Frame Sections are ordered in pairs of equal length. Each item you order is a pair, and two pairs complete a frame. Each order is shipped with all the hardware needed to easily build a beautiful and sturdy frame, using no tools other than a flat screwdriver. All Nielsen frame sections are cut to order. This custom work will increase the ship time of your order slightly.
