Larson Juhl Hardwood Floater Frames: The Perfect Blend of Modern and Natural Design
The Larson Juhl Hardwood Floater Frames from Articient provide a unique combination of modern style and natural beauty. We proudly offer three options in this line: the gray cherry (#589111), natural cherry (#589112), and the Cranbrook White Washed Maple (#623183). These frames, made from solid American cherry, oak, and maple, showcase the natural grain and imperfections of the hardwood, adding character and warmth.
Made from Solid American Hardwood
Unlike frames made from softer woods or veneers, Larson Juhl Hardwood Floater Frames are crafted from solid cherry, oak, and maple. Each frame proudly displays the natural grain, knots, wormholes, and sap pockets found in the wood. These natural features make each frame unique, adding character and authenticity.
Our craftsmen carefully inspect each frame, removing sections with overly large knots. However, small imperfections remain, giving the frames a true craftsman appeal. The result is a durable and distinctive frame that celebrates the beauty of natural wood.
Larson Juhl hardwood Frames: A Modern Yet Warm Design
While floater frames are known for their modern look, the use of solid hardwood in the Larson Juhl line adds a natural warmth. The frames offer a sleek, contemporary presentation, with the artwork "floating" within the frame. However, the natural wood grain and imperfections provide an earthy, grounded feel.
Articient’s Kiawah line, which includes the Cumberland and Cranbrook floater frames, captures the balance between modern design and natural beauty. These frames fit perfectly in both contemporary and traditional settings, making them a versatile option for displaying art.
Cranbrook White Washed Maple: Fresh and Modern
In addition to the cherry options, we offer the Larson Juhl Cranbrook White Washed Maple Floater Frame (#623183). This frame, made from solid maple, has a fresh, white-washed finish. The natural grain of the wood shines through the finish, giving the frame a contemporary yet earthy look. The profile of the Cranbrook frame is identical to the Cumberland series, making it a seamless addition to the Kiawah line of floater frames.
The Cranbrook frame’s light tone works well with a variety of artwork styles, offering a neutral and modern backdrop.
Ebonized Cherry: A Unique Gray Finish
The gray cherry frame (#589111) goes through a unique process called ebonization. This method darkens the wood naturally without artificial stains. Ebonization involves soaking steel wool in vinegar and applying the solution to the wood. The vinegar reacts with the tannins, creating a deep, rich gray finish that resembles petrified wood.
The result is a modern, neutral frame with a natural warmth. This gray cherry frame is perfect for anyone looking to blend contemporary design with the beauty of natural wood.
Natural Cherry: Rich and Timeless
The natural cherry frame (#589112) offers a more traditional look, with the rich, reddish-brown tones of American cherry wood. This frame is perfect for adding warmth to any piece of art. Its smooth, natural grain gives the frame a timeless elegance that works well in both modern and traditional settings.
The natural cherry frame complements a wide range of artwork styles, from colorful paintings to classic black-and-white photography. Its versatility makes it a popular choice for artists and collectors alike.
