This Bold maple frame combines a pronounced facing with a precise rabbet depth to align with cradled panels, and it ships with a complete hardware pack so you can hang finished pieces immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this frame protect the artwork edge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bold profile extends beyond the panel face so the artwork sits just below the inside lip, creating a small reveal that prevents the surface from rubbing against walls or glass.
