V3974 is a smooth espresso panel floater frame for compatible artwork up to 3/8 inch deep. Its dark brown color provides strong definition with a warmer appearance than a straightforward black finish.
The visible face and listed complete molding width are both 7/8 inch, creating the most compact listed width relationship in this batch of panel profiles. Its 13/16 inch overall molding height supports the shallow panel format without adding unnecessary depth.
V3974 combines a wide-face classification with an unusually compact listed complete molding width. That relationship matters when a buyer wants the visible dark brown border to carry the design while limiting the profile's overall lateral extent.
V3983 offers the closest contrast in smooth black. It shares the same visible face width and depth capacity but has a broader listed complete molding width.
Measure the panel's exact width, height, and full depth, then verify that the depth does not exceed 3/8 inch. Pay particular attention to the distinction between visible face width and complete molding width when comparing V3974 with other panel profiles.
Framing specialist note: The compact width relationship is the defining proportion of this profile. Compare complete exterior proportions as well as finish color when deciding between espresso and black.
