Wedding Accessories Knowledge Base - What is a Photo Frame?
Picture frames have traditionally been made of wood, which is still
the commonest and most prestigious material, although other materials
are also used, including aluminum, plastics or polystyrene, even
sea shells. A picture frame may be of any colour or texture, but
gilding is common, especially on older frames. Some picture frames
have elaborate mouldings which may relate to the subject matter.
Complicated older frames are often made of moulded and gilded plaster
over a plain wood base.
