V794 is a cherry or mahogany-color wood picture frame featuring Mahogany colored wood profile. Its 3/4 inch face and 1-1/4 inch overall moulding height give the profile its characteristic scale and contour.
On Mahogany Frame, the 3/4 inch face creates a compact border, allowing the artwork and any matting to remain visually dominant. This narrow scale defines the perimeter without turning the frame into a major block of color.
Mahogany Frame has a 1-1/4 inch overall moulding height, establishing the side silhouette created by Mahogany colored wood profile. Its 1 inch usable rabbet and approximately 1/4 inch lip coverage describe the working space behind the opening. As a standard frame, the lip overlaps the front edge of the artwork or framing package.
Mahogany Frame can complement diplomas, maps, portraits, family photographs, landscapes, and traditionally styled artwork. The restrained profile of Mahogany Frame serves as a clear image boundary, with its exact face width determining whether it reads as a fine outline or a more visible surround.
For works on paper, mat color and border width can create separation between the image and Mahogany Frame, especially when a dark frame should remain distinct from the darkest image values.
For example, watercolor paintings with a deckled edge could be floated on acid free archival mat board, and this mahogany colored wood picture frame would accommodate the necessary depth needed to space up the art or matting.
On Mahogany Frame, the relationship between its face, inner edge, and outside contour determines how strongly this profile separates the artwork from the surrounding wall.
