Looking for a stylish way to showcase your canvas paintings? Blick Wood Floater Frames are the perfect solution. These beautifully crafted frames give your artwork a modern, professional look by creating the illusion that your canvas is "floating" within the frame. Whether you're displaying gallery-wrapped canvases or handmade art, these frames will make your work stand out.
Let’s explore why Blick Wood Floater Frames are a must-have for artists, galleries, and home decorators alike.
Why Choose Blick Wood Floater Frames?
1. Modern, Minimalist Design
Unlike traditional frames that cover the edges of your canvas, Blick Floater Frames create a clean, modern look by allowing your artwork to appear as if it’s floating. This design adds depth and dimension, making your art the star of the show.
2. Perfect for Gallery-Wrapped Canvases
These frames are designed specifically for gallery-wrapped canvases where the edges are part of the artwork and no staples are visible. This means you can display the full canvas without hiding any details.
3. Handcrafted Quality
Each frame is handmade with careful attention to detail. The wood is finely finished, and the gold leaf frames are created using an "Old World" technique that leaves beautiful, natural lines between each gold leaf.
4. Easy to Assemble
Attaching your canvas to the frame is simple. The frame easily mounts to the stretcher bars of your canvas from the back using screws (not included). No complicated assembly or professional tools needed.
5. Versatile Sizes and Finishes
Available in various popular sizes and colors, Blick Floater Frames can match any style or artwork. Whether you prefer classic wood tones or elegant gold leaf, there’s a frame to complement your piece.
