Extra Large Float Frame

Extra large float frame for canvas art. This contemporary black floater frame features smooth clean lines.

The popularity of the black floating frame style has developed over the years as a postmodern aesthetic for items not requiring a front lip to contain the contents. An example of items that don’t require a front lip would be canvas paintings and giclée prints on canvas, which are stretched and stapled over a stretcher bar.

Additional items that may be displayed with this black floating frame include paintings on hardboard panels, plywood, or laminated foamcore or gatorboard. A growing trend in watercolor painting is to wax the surface to eliminate the need for glass or acrylic glazing. Collage, mixed media, and three-dimensional relief paintings are also good matches for a floater frame, so long as the art doesn’t require top layers such as glass or mats to protect the item.
