Blick Simplon Plein Air Econo Frames

Description

Reviews

A scaled-down version of our popular Simplon frame, the Simplon Econo offers equally elegant simplicity in six rich finishes and a variety of sizes. It features a 3/8" rabbet.

These beautiful frames in gold leaf are hand-finished with the "Old World" technique of showing hand leafing lines between each individual leaf that reveals a thin black separation line.

Note — Hanging hardware not included.

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.

Frame Dimensions — 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.

Open Back Frames — These frames are meant to be hung on the wall and are sold as just the frame face. They are not shipped with backing material, glazing material, or hanging hardware. The open back frames are commonly used for traditional profile stretched canvases.

I would not purchase these frames again-very poor quality.

By Mark

from Santa Rosa

Comments about Blick Simplon Econo Wood Frames:

Perhaps for beginning artists or high school students who need a frame for some work, these frames are the ones to get. But, I was under the impression that they were simple but good. I didn't get the "econo" The frames for my purposes are embarrassingly bad. If one is selling a painting for a fair amount of money, then the frame should be a good quality. These were not.

I will NOT shop at Blick again

By Maggie Bee

from Pennsylvania

Comments about Blick Simplon Econo Wood Frames:

Two of the three frames were not usable. Also, I was not given credit for my Artists Magazine, $10 gift certificate. My bill came in for the full amount.

Great Value in a Needed Size

By JimEdgarVoices

Comments about Blick Simplon Econo Wood Frames:

Realized against a show deadline that no one local had a decent 6x6" frame which would accept panels. Got on the phone with Dick Blick and they had them on our doorstep the next morning. Solid work! Good quality simple frames - no complaints about quality or value.

Inexpensive Frames

Comments about Blick Simplon Econo Wood Frames:

I send the frames directly to the gallery and ship my paintings as well. The gallery puts them together to save me shipping costs.

Like and would buy again, but.....

By Susannah

from Hollywood, MD

Comments about Blick Simplon Econo Wood Frames:

I like these Simplon Econo frames for easy, fairly well made frames for my smaller paintings. The last two I bought, however, had lines in the paint that looked like someone was measuring and used pencils.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Merchant response: Thank you for taking the time to share your comments on the Gold Leaf Simplon Frames. Because the leaf is hand-applied, you'll find separation lines between leaves, and in some cases the artisans who finish the frames will accentuate those marks, making each frame unique. If these are not to your liking, please feel welcome to get in touch with our Customer Care Center at 1-800-723-2787 regarding a return or exchange. We're happy to help!

Gold is nice, would love a Champaign Silver also!!

By R v

from Bellingham WA

Comments about Blick Simplon Econo Wood Frames:

Gold is very nice, Espresso is too glossy. Could be much nicer with a matte finish. Corner seams pop on most then you loose the continues corner look. Would love a Champaign Silver !!
