Vintage Oval Picture Frame, 8 x 10 in, Green with Gold Trim

Description

At 8 by 10 an oval stops being an accent and starts setting the terms for the wall. This is the frame to hang first, usually over a console table or at the turn of a staircase, and then to build the rest of the arrangement around, because nothing smaller in the group is going to argue with it.

Deep green with gold is an old pairing and it behaves like one. The green is saturated enough to hold a wall on its own and dark enough to sit against paneling, bookshelves and dark paint without vanishing into them, while the brushed gold on the trim keeps the outline visible from the other end of a hallway.

Remember what the oval does to a print: a standard 8 by 10 goes in and the corners come off, so a centered head and shoulders works and a wide group does not. Polyresin with hand-finished carving, clear stain-resistant glass, an easel stand for a deep shelf, built-in metal hooks for either orientation, and an easy-open back.
