Oak Picture Frame

Oak Picture Frame Details

V490 is a natural-finish wood picture frame featuring 100% solid oak hardwood profile with a clean profile shape and open grain. Its 3/4 inch face and 1-1/2 inch overall moulding height give the profile its characteristic scale and contour.

On Oak Picture 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.

Oak Picture Frame has a 1-1/2 inch overall moulding height, establishing the side silhouette created by 100% solid oak hardwood profile with a clean profile shape and open grain. Its 1-1/4 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.

Works Visually With

Oak Picture Frame can complement botanical prints, landscapes, photographs, maps, drawings, and artwork with organic colors and textures. The restrained profile of Oak Picture 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 Oak Picture Frame, especially when a dark frame should remain distinct from the darkest image values.

Design and Visual Character

Solid hardwoods, such as this gallery style oak picture frame, have long been a symbol of quality and durability, and have been used for millennia as a time-tested material in architecture and furniture design.

The visible variation across Oak Picture Frame breaks up reflected light and gives this finish more tonal movement than a uniformly smooth profile.

The 3/4 inch face and 1-1/2 inch overall height define the proportions of Oak Picture Frame. Its front view remains restrained, while this moulding's outside contour becomes more apparent from an angled view.
