Memories often fade, and the best way to keep in constant touch with our past is to preserve framed pictures around us. The earliest Picture Frames date back probably to Roman times, though few examples are available. There was not much need of frames, as visual art was in the form of murals and illustrations of events. The art of framing pictures or paintings was initiated in the Renaissance period, due to the need to individualize and enhance creative works. Over time, the industrial temperament changed the artistic responsiveness of people, and along with it the exclusivity of Picture Frames. Wholesale or mass-produced Picture Frames in different shapes and materials hang side-by-side with custom-made or trendy antique, silver or wood frames, catering to people looking for distinctiveness, or to project their affluence.
Picture Frames lend support, protection and artistic credibility. Without a frame to support it, the picture would hang limp on the wall or fold up if put on the table. Pictures are meant to be protected and preserved, and frames are the best protection against direct light, moisture and contact with poor-quality paper products with high-acid content. Every time we touch an unframed picture we risk spoiling it through the natural acids in our hands.
A Picture Frame lends artistic credibility to your efforts, and emphasizes colors, features and the place where the photograph was taken. A great picture loses its worth if put in a plastic frame purchased at the flea market, or placing a black-and-white photograph or picture in an ornate gold frame. Both would look out of place, with the frame overshadowing the picture. Wholesale frames suit different requirements and budgets, and are great gift ideas for weddings or any other event. From digital frames to frames in silver, wood, metal, plastic or paper, we have a choice matching the decor of residence or workplace, or our sensibilities.
