12x25 Inch Black Picture Frame Poster Frame - Antique Black custom

Our review of the ArtToFrames 12x25 Inch Black Picture Frame finds it best for anyone who wants a custom-looking poster solution without a custom framing bill. The bottom line: this frame presents prints and diplomas with a clean, slightly antique black profile and solid wood construction, so it elevates photos and posters while keeping cost and weight down thanks to the included economy acrylic. If you need an easily hung, gallery-style display for a 12 in x 25 in print, this frame delivers a finished 14 in x 27 in presence and a simple, refined look.

Key Features

• Wood construction: The solid wood moulding gives a sturdy, traditional look that improves the perceived value of prints and art.
• Fits 12x25 in photos: Exactly sized for 12 in x 25 in or 25 in x 12 in prints, so framing a long poster or diploma is straightforward without trimming.
• Finished dimensions: The frame measures 14 in x 27 in finished, providing a modest border that helps the artwork stand out on the wall.
• Included economy acrylic: Lighter and safer than glass, the acrylic protects the artwork while reducing shipping and hanging weight.
• Wire hanging set: The included hanging hardware makes wall mounting quick and repeatable for most home and office walls.
• Measured rabbet and lip: A 0.5 in rabbet and 0.25 in lip allow for mounting prints, lightweight mats, and thin backing with predictable spacing.

Who It's For

This frame is aimed at homeowners, small galleries, students, and anyone framing long posters or certificates who wants a tasteful black surround without investing in custom framing. It works well for black-and-white photography, color posters, crafts, and diplomas where a modest, antique look complements the content.

People who need thicker glazing, museum-grade glass, or deep-set multi-layer framing should look elsewhere; this model uses economy acrylic and has a 0.5 in rabbet, so very thick canvases, heavy framing materials, or archival glazing are beyond its intended use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a 12 in x 25 in poster fit without trimming?
Yes, the frame is made to fit a 12 in x 25 in print exactly and can also hold a 25 in x 12 in orientation.

Is the front glass or plastic?
The frame comes with economy acrylic, which is lighter and less fragile than glass but may show reflections differently.

How thick of an artwork will it hold?
The rabbet depth is 0.50 in, so thin prints, mats and lightweight backing fit well; thicker canvases or deep multi-layer framing will not fit.
