Wide Gold Leaf Plein Air Frame can complement landscapes, portraits, still lifes, and substantial traditional paintings. The closed-corner construction gives the decorative surface a continuous path around the artwork, which is especially useful when the frame itself should contribute to a finished gallery presentation.
At 3-1/2 inches across the face, this frame creates a substantial visual border. The restrained face emphasizes the continuous closed-corner finish rather than a separate carved motif. Its visual weight comes primarily from proportion, metallic or rubbed color, and the relationship between the inner and outer edges.
SKU CC115 features a hand-applied gold leaf finish and broad closed-corner profile. The broad face makes the continuous gold finish a prominent part of the display while retaining a clean profile without a separately described motif.
The 1-3/16-inch overall moulding height determines how strongly the frame projects from the wall and how its contour reads from an angle. The particular finish and profile details on CC115 shape the highlights and shadows visible between the outer edge and inner lip.
Because this is a standard frame rather than a floater frame, the lip overlaps the front perimeter of the artwork or framing package. The approximately 5/16-inch lip coverage forms the visible transition between the frame and the image.
Framing specialist note: Compare the 3-1/2-inch face with the artwork scale, then use the 3/8-inch usable rabbet depth when evaluating the framing package. See how rabbet depth is measured.
