About the Business

A picture frame is a kind of container added to a picture in order to enhance it, make it easier to display and to protect it.

Picture frames have traditionally been made of wood, which is still the commonest material, although other materials are also used, including aluminium, plastics or polystyrene. A picture frame may be of any colour or texture, but gildingis common, especially on older frames. Some picture frames have elaborate mouldings which may relate to the subject matter. Older frames are often made of moulded and gilded plaster over a plain wood base.

The picture frame may contain a pane of glass or a plastic glass substitute, in order to protect the picture. In some instances where the art in the frame is dispensable or durable, no protection may be necessary. Glass is common overwatercolours, rare over oil paintings, except very valuable ones in some museums. Glass may be treated with coatings, the most common being UV filters.
