At Frametigo, we believe every treasured memory deserves to be showcased beautifully. Whether you are preserving family photos, presenting artwork, or preparing gifts for special occasions, a high quality picture frame can make all the difference. In this guide we explain what a picture frame is, why you might need one, what makes a frame high quality, the different types and sizes available with us, and how you can purchase the perfect frame from Frametigo or via our Amazon page.
What Is a Picture Frame?
A picture frame is a structure designed to surround and protect photographs, artwork, certificates, posters or other visual media. It holds the item securely, provides support and protection against dust and damage, and enhances the appearance of the image or object it contains. Frames can be hung on walls or displayed on surfaces like shelves and mantels.
Why You Would Need a Picture Frame
People choose picture frames for a variety of reasons:
To protect photographs and artwork from wear, light damage, dust and fingerprints.
To display images in a way that complements home or office décor.
To create a finished and polished presentation for gifts, exhibitions or professional spaces.
To preserve memories and ensure they remain in excellent condition over time.
A well-chosen frame not only safeguards but also elevates the visual impact of your cherished moments.
What Makes a High Quality Picture Frame?
Not all frames are created equal. At Frametigo we focus on several key features that define high quality:
Materials
Natural solid wood: Frames made from woods such as oak, walnut, pine or Okan are durable, attractive and long-lasting. The wood grain adds natural character and warmth to each piece.
Silver plated frames: Elegant and classic, silver plated frames bring a polished, premium finish to your images. These frames use crystal-clear glass and high quality metal plating for a sophisticated look.
Construction Quality
Frames should have secure joints that stand the test of time. Our wood frames use double-splined joints for added strength.
Real glass glazing ensures your photo or art is seen clearly and safely compared with cheaper plastic alternatives.
A protective lacquer finish on wood and metal frames keeps them looking their best and reduces tarnishing or fading.
Functional Details
Frames suitable for both portrait and landscape orientation add flexibility.
Velvet backing boards and stable stands add a luxurious finish and ensure your frames display securely.
In summary, high quality frames use premium materials, handcrafted details and design features that go beyond basic frame construction.
