This open-grain dark brown picture frame profile offers a conservative and traditional look, with a speckled, warm silver inner lip that functions as a built-in fillet, providing contrast between the body of the frame and the art. The flat front of the frame stock features rich brown stain that shines through a textured open-grain pattern on a real wood veneer. The profile is 2 1/8” wide, with a 9/16” rabbet depth.
The traditional style of this picture frame moulding is perhaps best utilized on documents such as diplomas, industry awards, and special certificates, though it could also work successfully as a solution for realistic, representational art such as landscape paintings, nature art, and golf paintings.
For an additional complement to the traditional elegance of this frame moulding, consider adding a frame liner to the inside lip, such as Linb-wt. This frame liner features a white fabric top layer that wraps over a beveled inner-edge, and would pair very nicely with V1359.
Another suggestion is to stack this profile with another frame on the outside, such as V674, which features a warm silver bead. This addition causes the wood veneer section to appear as a frame liner. At any rate, V1359 is a safe choice for conservative art with a traditional look.
