V3956 is the darkest walnut-look option in this coordinated group of deep canvas floater frames. Its deep brown color and grain appearance create a more defined perimeter than the lighter walnut-look alternative.
Although the finish is visually dark, the 3/8-inch visible face remains slender. The profile accommodates artwork up to 1-5/8 inches deep, with a 2-3/16-inch overall molding height that supports its tall proportions.
Choose V3956 when stronger tonal contrast is desired without moving to a wider frame. The dark finish gives the perimeter visual definition, while the narrow face controls its overall weight.
V3958 offers the same profile proportions and maximum artwork depth in a lighter walnut-look finish. V3970 is a shallower walnut-look option, while V625 is handcrafted from genuine solid walnut hardwood and features a slightly narrower 5/16-inch visible face with the same 1-5/8-inch maximum artwork depth.
Consider both the artwork's palette and its physical depth. Dark brown can create stronger edge contrast than lighter grain looks, while the 1-5/8-inch maximum artwork depth determines compatibility.
Framing specialist note: A dark finish may read as more visually defined even on a narrow face. Review the 3/8-inch visible face independently from the full 1-1/2-inch molding width.
