Craig Frames 314WG 14x20 Picture Frame Matted for 11x17 Prints

In this review the Craig Frames 314WG is evaluated as a Victorianstyle option for anyone who wants an ornate but lightweight frame to display an 11x17 print with matting or a 14x20 print without it. The single biggest reason to consider this frame is its decorative white facing with a beaded gold inlay that gives photos a vintage, Queen Ann feel while including a readytouse white mat and hanging kit. It is best suited to wall display where the look of the moulding matters more than heavy, museumgrade construction.

Key Features

• Victorian style facing: The white facing with a beaded gold inlay provides a refined, vintage look that elevates wedding photos and formal prints.
• Included mat and hardware: The frame ships with a white mat, acrylic facing, cardboard backing and a hanging kit so it is ready to mount on arrival.
• Two display options: With the mat installed it displays an 11x17 print; the opening and backing also allow a 14x20 print to be shown without the mat.
• Solid wood moulding: The 0.75 in moulding is crafted from solid poplar wood, which complements traditional interiors and antique decor.
• Portrait or landscape hanging: Hardware supports wall hanging in either orientation, making placement flexible for various rooms.

Who It's For

The Craig Frames 314WG is a good fit for homeowners decorating living rooms, bedrooms or home offices who want an ornate, antiquelooking frame without paying for heavy museum framing. Photographers or gift buyers seeking a presentable frame for wedding or anniversary prints will appreciate the included mat and decorative gold bead detail.

Those who need archival glazing, heavy solid hardwood construction, or a table easel display should look elsewhere; some customers note the frame and backing feel lightweight and not like premium gallery framing, so it is best for decorative display rather than conservation.
