13x36 in Black Picture Frame Antique Black - Custom Poster Frame

In this review of the 13x36 in Black Picture Frame from ArtToFrames, the bottom line is simple: anyone who needs a long, narrow frame that looks custom without a custom price will appreciate this piece. The frame is made of wood with an antique black finish and comes ready to hang with economy acrylic and corrugated backing, so it is ideal for shipping prints, posters, diplomas or panoramic photos. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a true custom fit for 13x36 in artwork and a sturdy, classic profile that suits both color and black-and-white images.

Key Features

• Custom fit: Fits 13x36 in photos or 36x13 in prints exactly, eliminating the need for trimming or matting in many cases.
• Solid wood construction: The wooden frame adds a substantial, traditional look that complements artwork and keeps the piece stable on the wall.
• Finished dimensions: The completed frame measures 15x38 in, providing a tidy finished border around a 13x36 in insert for easy display.
• Profile and depth: With a 1.25 in width, 1.00 in depth and a 0.25 in lip plus a 0.50 in rabbet, it holds typical posters and mounted prints securely.
• Included mounting: Economy acrylic glazing, corrugated backing and a wire hanging set arrive assembled so the frame can be put on the wall quickly.

Who It's For

This frame is best for photographers, artists and home decorators who need a long-format frame for panoramic photos, certificates, banners or narrow posters and want a classic, antique black look. It is also a practical choice for anyone shipping framed art because the corrugated backing and economy acrylic keep weight down while protecting the piece.

Those who need museum-grade glazing, thicker artwork accommodation, or nonstandard matting options should look elsewhere; the supplied economy acrylic is lighter and less reflective than glass, and the 0.50 in rabbet limits the maximum thickness of mounted media.
