Tall Black Open Grain Canvas Frame

This brand-new 1 5/8” deep black wood floater frame is a Web Picture Frames exclusive, ideal for canvas paintings and also rigid panels such as encaustic wax paintings and epoxy-finished artworks on board. This profile is deep enough to accommodate a stretched canvas or cradled panel board up to 1 ½” deep.

Featuring an open-grain texture that is ideal for artists traveling to art fairs and festivals, this black wood floater frame is ideal because the finish is forgiving with regard to touch-up. There is no gesso between the open-grain wood and the black finish, meaning that chips and dings caused by excessive transport are easily hidden with a dab of color.

A versatile way of using this black wood floater frame involves having us lay the moulding on its side while cutting mitered corners, to achieve a platform-style base with which to mount your artwork.

For example, metal prints, acrylic face-mounts, laminated gatorboard prints, and deckled watercolor paper that is sealed with a clear coat may all float above this black wood floater frame when side-cut, with the platform base extending beyond the edge of the art by up to 1 ½”. With this method, artwork would sit 5/8” up from the platform base of the profile.
