V3989 is the warm metallic-look option for compatible panel artwork up to 3/8 inch deep. Its gold color creates a more decorative perimeter than quiet gray, white, or dark neutral finishes.
A 7/8 inch visible face provides enough area for the gold appearance to read clearly around the artwork. The 1-5/8 inch complete molding width and 13/16 inch overall molding height give it balanced visual weight within the shallow panel group.
Choose V3989 when the frame should contribute warmth and visual emphasis rather than function as a quiet neutral. Its wide face makes the gold color a meaningful part of the composition, while its shallow capacity remains aligned with compatible panel artwork.
V3964 offers a quieter light grain-look alternative with the same visible face width and maximum artwork depth.
Check the panel's exact width, height, and complete depth, confirming that it is no more than 3/8 inch deep. Because gold is visually active, compare its warmth with dominant artwork colors and nearby metallic accents.
Framing specialist note: The metallic look describes visible finish character only. Consider whether the wide gold face should echo warm colors in the artwork or provide deliberate contrast.
