Larson Juhl Spencer Frames: Elevating Art with Style and Versatility
When it comes to framing, the right frame can truly transform a piece of art. Larson Juhl's Spencer line offers an ideal combination of luxurious finishes and functional design, making these frames a top choice for both artists and galleries. With the perfect blend of traditional and modern elements, Spencer frames are designed to enhance any artwork.
The Unique Features of Larson Juhl Spencer I and Spencer II Frames
Spencer frames are celebrated for their beautiful concave face, finished with luxurious metal leaf in gold or silver. This elegant face is paired with a rustic, raked wood side, giving the frames a unique balance of sophistication and texture. Whether you choose the gold or silver finish, the Spencer frames add a touch of luxury to any piece of art.
The Spencer line comes in two primary styles: traditional tall stem frames and floater frames. The tall stem frames, such as those in the Gadsden line, offer a more classic framing option. These frames provide the same elegance and quality as the floater frames but with a more traditional profile that is easy to install.
Traditional Gadsden Frames: A Classic Choice
For those who prefer a more conventional frame design, the Gadsden line is an excellent choice. These tall stem frames are part of the Spencer series and maintain the luxurious finish and rustic wood details that define the line. However, their traditional profile makes them easier to install compared to floater frames. The Gadsden frames are a favorite among artists and galleries for their timeless appeal.
At Articient, we offer popular Gadsden frames, including:
- #248150: Gold leaf face with black raked wood side
- #248151: Silver leaf face with a warm gray side
- #248152: Silver leaf face with black side
These frames provide the perfect option for those who want the Spencer design in a more straightforward, traditional frame style.
Larson Juhl Spencer Floater Frames: Contemporary Elegance
If you're looking for a contemporary framing solution, the Spencer floater frames are the perfect choice. These frames are designed to give the appearance that your artwork is floating within the frame, offering maximum exposure and a clean, modern look.
The Spencer floater frames are available in two depths:
- Ultra-deep rabbet (2 3/16"): Ideal for thick canvases that are 2 inches or more.
- Standard-depth rabbet (1 3/4"): Perfect for thinner canvases and panels.
These floater frames come with the same luxurious metal leaf face and rustic wood side, creating a blend of modern and traditional design elements. Whether you're framing a contemporary abstract or a classic landscape, these frames provide the perfect setting for your artwork.
At Articient, we offer a range of Spencer floater frames, including:
- #574150: Gold leaf face with black raked wood side, 1 3/4" rabbet
- #574151: Silver leaf face with warm gray side, 1 3/4" rabbet
- #574154: Lemon gold face with off-white wood grain side, 1 3/4" rabbet
- #574152: Silver leaf face with black side, 1 3/4" rabbet
For thicker canvases, we also offer the ultra-deep rabbet floater frames:

Choosing the Right Spencer Frame for Your Artwork
When selecting a frame from the Spencer line, it’s important to consider both the style and depth of your artwork. If you prefer a traditional look, the Gadsden tall stem frames offer the classic profile you’re looking for. These frames are easier to install and provide a timeless appearance that suits many different types of artwork.
However, if you want to make a bold statement, the Spencer floater frames are a fantastic option. These frames give the artwork a floating effect, drawing attention to the piece while maintaining a sleek and modern presentation. The choice between the standard-depth and ultra-deep rabbet frames depends on the thickness of your canvas. The 2 3/16" rabbet is perfect for thicker canvases, while the 1 3/4" rabbet is ideal for thinner pieces.
Installation Made Easy
Installing floater frames can seem daunting at first, but Articient offers helpful tools to make the process easier. We provide spacers to help ensure that thinner canvases or panels sit securely within the frame. Additionally, our installation video offers step-by-step guidance for setting up floater frames, making the process simple and stress-free.
For those who prefer not to deal with floater frame installations, the Gadsden line provides a traditional frame profile that is much easier to install. These frames retain the luxurious finishes and rustic sides of the Spencer series while offering a simpler installation process.
