• Ready to hang: Pre-attached stamped hanging hardware allows mounting in either portrait or landscape orientation without extra parts.
• Complete package: The frame ships with glass and a rigid black backing so the print is protected and the frame is display-ready on arrival.
• Solid moulding: A 1.375 in wide solid wood moulding provides a substantial edge that reads as high quality on the wall.
• Exact fit: Designed to hold a 12x17 in print with a viewable area of 11.5x16.5 in, which helps center and present the artwork correctly.

Who It's For

This frame is ideal for homeowners, photographers, and gift buyers who want a traditional, ornate look without commissioning custom framing; the included glass and backing make it convenient for immediate display. It suits those hanging bridal portraits, vintage prints, certificate displays, or any artwork that benefits from a gold Victorian border.

Shoppers who need tabletop display, museum-grade glazing, or who expect every component to be a particular material should look elsewhere; some customers reported mixed impressions about material composition and glass versus plastic components, so buyers who require confirmed materials may prefer to confirm before purchase.
