FRAMES FOR PHOTOGRAPHS AND SMALL ARTWORKS

In this website room I am displaying frames particularly suitable for photographs, although they can also be used for other small works of art. Some were made specifically for photographs. Others are copies of early 19th Century miniature frames, created to feed the early 20th Century appetite for Americana. Foster Brothers, a prestigious framing company in Boston, was one such manufacturer. Their frames are prized today for their fine craftsmanship.

The standard sizes of photographs have changed very little since the Mid-19th Century. An 8x10 Aesthetic or Renaissance Revival frame works as well with a modern photograph as it does with one of your ancestor. Be adventursome. It's a good way to show off your period frame collection.
