A black frame only can be really beautiful if you change up the profile and make it glossy. This poster of the bridges over the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon shows how a glossy frame with a deep bevel can elevate your art from a plain black metal frame.

This is a special travel memento from a trip to Paris France. Our guest was able to bring home a rolled canvas that we stretched over wooden strainer bars. This example shows how it was wrapped to show the most of the image from the front and left some of the white edges on the sides. These would be covered if and when the guest wishes to put a frame on this canvas. However, it is still able to be displayed and hung as is. The following pictures show all the corners and sides as well as the what it looks like from the back. Having a canvas "Gallery Wrapped" would have some of the painted image wrapped all the way around the sides so that you can see it from a side view and is usually done when a frame is never intending to be added to a canvas.
