Wide Gothic Black Ornate Frame

Wide Gothic Black Ornate Frame Details

V288 is a wood picture frame featuring a wide black profile covered with dramatic raised Gothic-style ornament. Its 3-1/8 inch face and 1-1/4 inch overall moulding height give the profile its characteristic scale and contour.

The 3-1/8 inch face makes Wide Gothic Black Ornate 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 Black Ornate Frame has a 1-1/4 inch overall moulding height, establishing the side silhouette created by a wide black profile covered with dramatic raised 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 Black Ornate Frame can complement dramatic portraits, Gothic artwork, historical prints, and mirrors. The decorative relief on Wide Gothic Black Ornate 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 Black Ornate Frame is used with a mat, a quieter mat color and sufficient border space can keep the ornament from crowding detailed works on paper.
