13x17 in Black Wood Picture Frame - Custom 1.25 in Profile

In this review the ArtToFrames 13x17 in Black Picture Frame is assessed for anyone who wants a straightforward, wood poster frame that looks custom without a high cost. The bottom line: this frame is best for prints, photos and lightweight art that need a clean black border and easy wall hanging. It ships with regular glass and a sawtooth hanger, and its finished outer size of 15x19 in means it presents 13x17 in images with a substantial, modern 1.25 in profile that enhances most prints.

Key Features

• Included glass and hanger: Comes with regular glass and a sawtooth hanger so the frame is ready to mount on arrival.
• Wood construction: The wood build gives a solid visual presence and a traditional look that suits photographs and posters alike.
• Exact fit for 13x17 in art: The frame is made to hold 13x17 in photos while the finished size measures 15x19 in for a consistent exterior dimension.
• 1.25 in wide moulding: The 1.25 in width provides a clean border that draws attention to the artwork without overwhelming it.
• Functional rabbet depth: A 0.3750 in rabbet accommodates standard prints and mounting boards up to that thickness.
• Protective lip: The 0.25 in lip helps keep the print set back slightly from the glass for a neat presentation.

Who It's For

This frame is well suited for photographers, students, hobbyists and decorators who need a reliable black wood frame for 13x17 in prints, posters or certificates. It is especially useful when a simple, classic look is desired and the piece will hang on a wall using the included sawtooth hanger.

Those who require thicker art, archival glazing, floating frame features or framed canvases should look elsewhere; the 0.3750 in rabbet and standard glass mean this frame best fits flat prints and thin mounted pieces rather than deep or delicate originals.
