Give posters, prints, and artwork a classic, finished look with this black and gold American Federal style wood frame. Designed for wall display, it brings a timeless, gallery-inspired presence to home decor, offices, studios, and retail interiors.
The profile blends clean lines with traditional detail: a duck bill inner lip that rounds into a recessed black span, followed by rounded steps that rise to a defined outer edge. The result is an elegant frame that adds structure without overwhelming the art.
Inspired by the post-enlightenment era between the American Revolution and the American Civil War, this style reflects the enduring appeal of gold accents applied to simple, refined forms.
Use it to elevate movie posters, concert memorabilia, photography prints, illustrations, and typographic designs. It also pairs well in a coordinated gallery wall where consistent framing helps unify different pieces.
For works on paper, consider pairing with 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.
Specs: face width 2 in; height 1 3/8 in; rabbet height 5/8 in.
