Petite Matte Black Picture Frame

Petite Matte Black Picture Frame Details

v1381 is a wood picture frame featuring an exceptionally narrow matte-black profile with a simple square face. Its 1/2 inch face and 1/2 inch overall moulding height give the profile its characteristic scale and contour.

On Petite Matte Black Picture Frame, the 1/2 inch face creates a compact border, allowing the artwork and any matting to remain visually dominant. This narrow scale defines the perimeter without turning the frame into a major block of color.

Petite Matte Black Picture Frame has a 1/2 inch overall moulding height, establishing the side silhouette created by an exceptionally narrow matte-black profile with a simple square face. Its 3/8 inch usable rabbet and approximately 3/16 inch lip coverage describe the working space behind the opening. As a standard frame, the lip overlaps the front edge of the artwork or framing package.
