ArtToFrames 5x27 Inch Black Picture Frame - Antique Black Custom Fit

Our review of the ArtToFrames 5x27 Inch Black Picture Frame finds it best for anyone looking to present long, narrow prints or panoramic photos cleanly and affordably. The single biggest reason to buy is its tailored fit for 5x27 in artwork combined with a sturdy wood profile that gives prints a custom-framed look without a custom price. The frame ships with economy acrylic and a corrugated backing and includes a hanging wire so wall mounting is straightforward for hobbyists, crafters, or those framing unusual-sized pieces.

Key Features

• Custom fit: The frame is made to fit a 5x27 in print precisely, so photos and posters do not need trimming to look centered.
• Solid wood build: The 1.25 in wide wooden moulding provides a traditional profile that enhances both black-and-white and color artwork.
• Depth and rabbet: A 1.00 in depth with a 0.50 in rabbet allows for most prints, mats, and mounts to sit flush without bulging out.
• Protection included: Economy acrylic replaces glass to reduce breakage risk while still protecting the surface of your print.
• Ready to hang: The included wire hanging set simplifies installation so framed pieces are wall-ready upon arrival.
• Distinct look: The antique black finish gives prints a subtle, gallery-style appearance without overpowering delicate images.

Who It's For

This frame works well for photographers, artists, and crafters who have long, narrow images such as panoramic phone shots, certificates, or ribbon-style artwork and want a clean black frame to complement the piece. It is also a good choice for someone mounting a photo in a hallway or narrow wall where standard frames feel too bulky.

Those who need true museum glazing, thicker artwork storage, or tempered glass should look elsewhere; the economy acrylic is lighter and less protective than museum glass, and the 0.50 in rabbet limits very thick mats, shadowboxes, or framed three-dimensional objects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my 27x5 in poster fit this frame?
Yes. The frame fits a 5x27 in print in either orientation, so a 27x5 in poster will fit the same.

Is the front glass or plastic?
The frame ships with economy acrylic rather than glass to reduce breakage and weight.

Can it hold a matted print?
You can use thin matting, but the 0.50 in rabbet limits very thick mats or deep mounts.
