So, we’d like to call your attention to one of our favorites, the Ashford frame a thin metal frame that exudes a beautiful aesthetic but won’t distract from what’s inside that really matters. It has a flat profile face that is ⅜” wide and made from extruded aluminum that’s either anodized or powder-coated (processes to create a decorative, durable, and corrosion-resistant finish). It comes in eight colors, satin black, silver, and gold, gloss black, silver, and gold, white and hot pink. It is the perfect decorative accessory for just about any artwork, photograph, or other pieces you may want to frame.
