17x19 Inch Black Picture Frame - Antique Black Custom Poster Frame

In this review of the 17x19 Inch Black Picture Frame from ArtToFrames we look at who benefits most and the single biggest reason to buy: simple, sturdy presentation for prints that want a custom-framed look without custom framing cost. The frame ships ready with economy acrylic and a hanging wire, and its clean antique black wood profile suits both color and black-and-white artwork. If you need a dependable, attractive frame for a 17 in x 19 in print that keeps weight and cost down, this frame delivers the essentials with solid construction and a classic look.

Key Features

• Made of wood: The wood construction gives a genuine framed look that enhances photographs, posters and diplomas with a traditional finish.
• Fits 17x19 in prints: Designed specifically for 17 in x 19 in images so prints fit snugly without trimming or adjustment.
• Finished size: The actual finished frame measures 19 in x 21 in, providing a modest border around the image for display.
• Depth and rabbet: With a 1.0000 in frame depth and a 0.5000 in rabbet it accommodates mounted prints, posters or thin mats up to that thickness.
• Includes economy acrylic and hanging wire: The supplied acrylic keeps the weight lower than glass and the wire set lets the frame hang on most wall anchors immediately.

Who It's For

The frame is ideal for hobbyists, students, crafters and home decorators who want a ready-to-hang, attractive display for a 17 in x 19 in photo, poster or diploma. Its antique black finish works well in living rooms, bedrooms, home offices and gallery walls where a consistent, understated frame is preferred.

Those who should look elsewhere include collectors or museums that require real glass or archival glazing, and anyone needing deep framing for thick canvas or framed shadowbox items beyond the 0.5000 in rabbet depth.

Pros & Cons
