Smooth Black Canvas Floater Frame

Smooth Black Canvas Floater Frame

V3978 is the core smooth black option in the shallow canvas floater series. Its clean finish provides clear definition around the artwork while keeping the overall presentation contemporary.

The narrow 3/8 inch visible face controls the visual weight of the black perimeter. Artwork up to 7/8 inch deep can be matched to this profile, making it appropriate for shallower canvas formats.

Feature Highlights

• Smooth black finish with clean contemporary character.
• Narrow face adds definition without the weight of a wider profile.
• Maximum artwork depth of 7/8 inch for shallow canvas applications.

Frame Specifications

• Material: Wood
• Maximum supported artwork depth: 7/8 inch
• Visible face width: 3/8 inch
• Overall molding width: 1-1/2 inch
• Overall molding height: 1-3/8 inch

Best For

• Artwork that benefits from a crisp dark perimeter.
• Contemporary canvases with strong contrast or graphic forms.
• Shallower pieces displayed in interiors with black accents.
• Buyers seeking more definition than white or taupe provides.

Why Choose This Profile?

Black can establish a clear boundary around light, saturated, or high-contrast artwork. The narrow face keeps that boundary precise rather than visually dominant.

Depth compatibility separates V3978 from taller profiles in the collection. Its shallow capacity is suited to work that does not require the added height of a standard or deep floater frame.
