Delicate patterns of the wood emerge from the warm white and enhance virtually any painting, whether abstract or figurative. All installation hardware is included.
Black
For drama, an all Black Finish is always a good choice. Available in Satin Finish, a black border has long been the preferred choice for artists with a desire for the most impact and visual drama. All installation hardware is included.
Two Tone
