16x36 Inch Black Picture Frame - Antique Black Custom Poster Frame

Our review of the 16x36 Inch Black Picture Frame finds it best suited for anyone who wants a custom look for oversized photos, posters or diplomas without commissioning a framemaker. The bottom line: this wooden, 1.25 in wide antique black frame gives prints a finished, gallery-ready presence while keeping cost and weight down thanks to included economy acrylic and corrugated backing. It ships ready to hang with a wire set, so for wall displays that need a neat, classic surround the frame delivers immediate, attractive results.

Key Features

• Size fit: Designed to hold a 16x36 in print snugly while the finished outer dimensions are 18x38 in to give a proportional border.
• Material: Made of wood to provide a traditional look and a rigid edge that complements both black-and-white and color artwork.
• Depth and lip: The 1.00 in frame depth with a 0.25 in lip and 0.50 in rabbet accommodates mounted prints, thin canvases or matted pieces up to that thickness.
• Protective glazing: Comes with economy acrylic instead of glass to reduce weight and breakage risk for larger wall pieces.
• Mounting ready: Includes a wire hanging set and corrugated backing so the frame is ready to hang right out of the box.

Who It's For

This frame is ideal for renters, hobbyists and small business owners who need a polished presentation for a poster, panoramic photo or diploma without professional framing costs. The wood profile and antique black finish work well in living rooms, offices, studios or gallery walls that favor a classic, understated border.

Those who require museum-grade conservation glazing, thicker framed artwork, or a heavier glass pane should look elsewhere, since this model ships with economy acrylic and has a 0.50 in rabbet that limits the maximum artwork thickness.
