Using picture frames for things other than photos is not a new idea. People have long recognized the inherent beauty in them, especially old, hand-crafted frames and ones with intricate details. Whether old or new, they act as a powerful border. They can accentuate a piece or present it plainly. They can tie a piece into a room’s decor or make it stand out. In some cases they can even become part of the artwork.
