Unique Floater Frames for Paintings

Unique Floater Frames for Paintings We recently framed a “Twombly-esque” painting on canvas in a unique floater frame. This frame pictured here is typically a cap frame, meaning it crops over the edge of the art, mat or glass. In this case, we added a floater base and build-up and made it into a floater frame…

A key benefit of island matting is its ability to allow the edges of the artwork to remain exposed,…
