Picture Frame Moulding: Know Your Choices

The artist faces many choices when it comes to creating his or her artwork, as well as several in the post-production phase of getting the artwork prepared for display.  For those who work in fine art photography or painting, the basis for public presentation of your artwork is to get it framed.  In order to achieve this purpose, one must learn a bit about picture frame moulding in order to make the appropriate choices for picture frame selection.  

The most primary choice will be to choose between metal or picture frame wood moulding.  Picture frame moulding suppliers will offer several different types of picture frame wood moulding as well as a wide selection of picture frame moulding profiles, so that you can achieve the look you want for your finished piece of artwork.  If you wish a traditional look for your fine art photography picture frame moulding, then you would likely select quality metal picture frame moulding.  Metal picture frame moulding is usually black in color, and thin yet sturdy.  The sleek black frames do nothing to distract a visitor to an art gallery, for example, where several pieces of artwork will be hung in close proximity, and therefore a unified and modern look is desired.  Picture frame moulding suppliers will also carry a diverse selection of picture frame wood moulding, which is typically the choice used for framing paintings.  Wood moulding can be ornately carved and it takes well to a wide variety of finishes, including paints, stains and gilding.  Wood moulding can also often be more suitable for use in more casual settings for display.  Better suppliers will carry wood in colors such as natural, honey maple, walnut, burgundy, grey, white wash, cherry, espresso, mahogany, gold leaf, silver leaf, copper and classic black, so that you can find a wood that works in harmony with your artwork.

You next will want to think about the picture frame moulding profiles for your artwork frame.  Picture frame moulding profiles refer to the width and height, as well as any ornamentation or carving in the outer surface of the moulding.  There are as many variations in moulding profiles as there are suppliers of frame moulding.  

The best way to see what is currently available from picture frame moulding suppliers is to visit their websites.  There you will see each type of picture frame moulding available, as well as detailed drawings of what each type of profile looks like, so you can select the ones that you like the best and that work with your fine framed artwork.
