Finding the Right Picture-frames for You

Picture frames have the distinct role of presenting artwork in your home. A good frame can elevate the appearance of a fine oil painting or provocative fine-art photograph. From ornate handcrafted designs to streamlined wooden styles, some antique, new and vintage picture frames have become stand-alone pieces of art on their own.

Frames were originally a part of paintings themselves before they were separate structures carved from walnut and other woods for use with items like portrait paintings and mirrors. The design of frames evolved in Renaissance-era Italy, where an artist might create his own gilded or painted frame. Today, there are all kinds of picture frames made from a variety of materials, including silver, bronze and acrylic.

Displaying art in the home is an art in and of itself, and trends and new art movements have dictated how picture frames have been integrated into home interiors over the years. When Abstract Expressionist art emerged during the 1930s, for example, collectors utilized minimalist frames to hang abstract works or dispensed with frames entirely. Today, mixing mediums and frame designs make for endless combinations, but knowing how to arrange wall art can help even if you’re feeling adventurous.

Whether it’s a dark wood frame for your landscape paintings, a sleek chrome mid-century modern frame to show off your black-and-white photography or a bold Art Deco frame that might completely outshine its subject, find an extensive collection of antique, new and vintage picture frames on 1stDibs.

Questions About Black Antique Picture Frames
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Antique picture frames can be very valuable, particularly if they are older and have maintained their high quality. Some designs are considered classically attractive and are more valuable even if they are not as old.
    1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
    Yes, antique picture frames are considered valuable. They are regarded as high-value collectibles and can often be seen in exhibits without canvases, as art pieces on their own. Made of wood traditionally, antique picture frames remain very popular owing to their ability to be shaped in varied profiles. You can choose from a wide variety of antique picture frames, including designs in antique and vintage, new and contemporary, and 21st century pre-owned styles on 1stDibs.
