Create a respectful remembrance display with a classic black and gold American Federal style picture frame designed to present memorial portraits and tribute prints with a finished, dignified look.
The profile begins with a duck-bill inner lip that rounds into a flat, recessed black span, then transitions through a series of rounded steps that rise to a protruding outer edge. The result is a traditional silhouette that reads formal without feeling overly ornate.
Inspired by post-Enlightenment American Federal design, this frame pairs clean lines with gold accents for a timeless presentation that suits quiet home settings, memorial tables, and dedicated remembrance walls.
It is well suited for matted works on paper and can also be used for canvas art, making it a flexible choice when you are framing a photo now and may later reframe or update the display.
For paper pieces, consider coordinating an acid-free matboard color such as Black Belt 9632, Peat Moss 9611, Spice 9836, Ivory Art 9808, Toasty 9514, Mocha Green 9826, or Black-N-Blue 9887 to add visual focus and a more formal presentation.
Specs: face width 2 in; height 1 3/8 in; rabbet height 5/8 in.
