depth with frames

Add depth to any frame

With the wide variety of commercial frame profiles we offer it is easy find the perfect frame design for any piece.  But sometimes the frame is not deep enough to create the unique effect the client is looking for.

This client brought a slender and simple print to be framed, liking the style of the ¼ inch raise of the art within a ½ inch shadowbox in the frame.  The frame that he was most drawn to had an inside depth of only ½ inch.  But our craftsmen were able to deepen the frame by adding a ½ inch built back, matching the white washed wood of the commercial profile beautifully.  This ensured the frame would expertly suit the client’s specifications.

The client wanted the broad off white border of the back mat to greater expose the dramatic raise of the piece.  The shadowbox in the frame allows the piece to effectively float within the frame.
