Wilson Bickford Wood Frames

Classic and elegant wood frames hand-chosen by master artist Wilson Bickford!

These stylish, all-wood frames are designed to compliment a broad range of artistic subject matter, from traditional portraits and landscapes to abstract works, photographs, prints, drawings, collages, and paintings done in any media on paper, board, or standard 3/4" deep stretched canvas. Two classic styles in five different finishes ensure there is the perfect frame for any artwork! Each frame is carefully crafted from solid wood, coated in a smoothing layer of gesso, and finished with various leafing, brushing, and antiquing effects. Delicate details add a touch of sophistication, and the moulding width is proportionate to the frame size. Affordable and classy, Wilson Bickford Signature Series wood frames are sure to add distinction to all your favorite works of art!

• Style 038 (Pecan or Mahogany) – The deep scoop profile with egg and dart ornamentation on the outer lip and modified bead and reel next to the inner lip emulates the classic period frames of the late 19th century. These solid wood frames with smooth gesso coating are finished to a high quality look of pecan and mahogany. Their style and design make them best suited to traditional landscapes, portraits, and still life paintings. 1/4" deep rabbet. Proportionate frame sizing as follows: frames up to 12x16" have 2.5" wide moulding, up to 20x24" have 3" wide moulding, and 24x30" has a 4" wide moulding.

• Style 107 (Silver, Gold, or Bronze) – The 1/2" ribbon design of the inner lip combined with the slight scoop of the main body of the frame alludes to a stacked frame. A heavily brushed antiquing softens the overall appearance of the smooth gesso coating with a composition leaf finish. The 107S Silver is subtle, the 107G Gold is a bright gold with red undertones, and the 107GT Bronze is a heavily sponged deep brown over bronze undertones. The simple lines are suitable for a variety of painting and drawing styles from contemporary to traditional. 5/16" deep rabbet. Proportionate frame sizing as follows: frames up to 12x16" have 2.5" wide moulding, up to 20x24" have 3" wide moulding, and 24x30" has a 4" wide moulding.

"Let's face it... when it comes to displaying paintings and photographs, presentation is everything! That's why I am so pleased to be able to offer my Signature Frame line. My frames come in 2 distinctive styles and 5 finishes, so they're perfect for any subject matter and any interpretation. My wife loves them for her photographic work. Their 'proportionate design' means the moulding width increases with the overall dimensions. So, a smaller artwork is not over-powered by the frame, but likewise, a larger piece will not be inadequately represented. In sizes ranging from 5x7" to 24x30", they will take care of most artists' needs. You know I like to keep things simple! These frames are classy, very well-made and very affordable. SIMPLE! Just the way I like it!"
