These ready-made frames are crafted from solid pine, then hand finished with fine-quality stains and softly antiqued to give the look of an expensive, custom-made frame. Each frame has a natural linen liner and matching inset. A "rabbet" is not a funny spelling of a bunny! In the framing business, that's what we call the cut-out area behind the molding that accommodates the work of art. These frames have a rabbet that is approximately 3/8" deep (about 10 mm), sufficient for a single- or double-matted work on paper, but not deep enough for stretched canvas. Antique Burlwood/Gold — Like an old leather club chair, this one wears, but never wears out. Use it for portraits and other formal themes, in a room with light colored paint or wallpaper. Cherry Wood — A frame that signals respect, probably the most conservative choice in this group. If you were hired to replace a beloved manager who had died prematurely, you would choose this frame for his portrait. It might also go well with a formal country landscape. Gold with Gold Foil — A gold frame goes well with almost anything. This frame is richer and deeper in color than the Light Gold. Choose this frame if you have a wall that is painted white or off-white. Light Gold — Choose this frame to brighten a dark room. It's an excellent choice for framing a landscape, or just about anything, when the background décor is a dark paneling. It goes well too with wallpaper, especially strong patterns in contrasting colors. 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. see also ... |
