Our Favorite Frames: Staff Picks on Sale

At American Frame, we don’t just understand artists. We are artists. Most of our employees have their own creative endeavors, from photography to painting. And when it’s time to frame their work, they choose from our wide selection of solid-wood and Nielsen metal frames. Here are a few of their top frame selections.

Pewter Wood Picture Frame
A favorite of Shelby from our showroom, this industrial style frame is versatile and on trend. She selected it to frame an architectural drawing project on distressed paper with a deckled edge. The forged metal look perfectly accentuated the rustic feel of the art.

“It’s appealing because it gives the effect of cast metal,” she said. “It emphasizes any kind of metal qualities in your art while giving it a refined characteristic.”

German Silver Metal Picture Frame
Traci, from our commercial framing department, chose this elegant metal frame to adorn a paint-by-numbers rendition of da Vinci’s “Last Supper” and said it perfectly complemented the art and her decor.

“I love the softness of the rounded front on all the Radius frames,” she said.

Black Wood Picture Frame
There’s something to be said for simplicity. That’s why Christine from our showroom loves this basic black frame. Its versatility means she’s used it everywhere, from displaying a collection of tea towels to posters and children’s art.

“It goes with everything,” she said. “And it looks more expensive than it is. It’s a sturdy frame that is great for family portraits, certificates, or framing your kids’ artwork without taking away from the art.”

Brushed Silver Wood Picture Frame
Chris, our commercial framing supervisor, opts for this go-with-everything frame for everything from wedding portraits and graphite drawings, to moody black and white cemetery photographs.

“This frame is simple and elegant,” he said. “I like the rich silver color and the tone harmonizes with a variety of artwork. Basically, it looks amazing with a lot of stuff.”
