This genuine hardwood maple picture frame moulding features a dark cherry-stained finish. The profile is 1 3/16” wide, with a flat shape across the face of the profile, and a genuine maple wood grain pattern showing through the finish. This picture frame moulding is proudly made in the United States of America.
The style of this maple picture frame is reminiscent of the mission style of furniture that rose to prominence at the turn of the 20th century. Although most mission furniture was made of oak, other solid hardwoods such as maple were also chosen for their rugged durability, unassuming functionality, and quaint, nostalgic Americana feel.
Possible pairings with this frame might include framing posters of national parks, vintage and antique metal signs, or cross-stitch, crochet, and needlepoint crafts. This picture frame is also neutral and versatile; you could choose it to achieve multiple design purposes and it would get the job done.
Keep in mind the rabbet depth is ½”, so technical limitations might include substantially thick canvases or 3-dimensional memorabilia. For a solid hardwood picture frame that could accommodate thicker art or shadowboxes, consider V488, which is a natural light cherry wood. If you like the color of V5018, you could sand V488 and stain it to a dark cherry tone.
