Wide Gothic Gold Picture Frame

Wide Gothic Gold Picture Frame Details

V286 is a gold wood picture frame featuring a wide reverse-swan gold profile with embossed Gothic-style ornament. Its 3-1/8 inch face and 1-1/8 inch overall moulding height give the profile its characteristic scale and contour.

The 3-1/8 inch face makes Wide Gothic Gold Picture Frame a substantial border around the artwork. At this broader scale, its profile and finish become active parts of the presentation rather than a narrow outline at the perimeter.

Wide Gothic Gold Picture Frame has a 1-1/8 inch overall moulding height, establishing the side silhouette created by a wide reverse-swan gold profile with embossed Gothic-style ornament. Its 5/8 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

Wide Gothic Gold Picture Frame can complement Gothic artwork, dramatic portraits, antique prints, and mirrors. The decorative relief on Wide Gothic Gold Picture Frame works most coherently when its pattern supports the scale and detail of the artwork rather than competing with the focal area.

When Wide Gothic Gold Picture Frame is used with a mat, a quieter mat color and sufficient border space can keep the ornament from crowding detailed works on paper.
