Medium-Deep Rabbet Frames (1.26" - 1.75"): The Standard for Gallery Wrapped Canvases
The Medium-Deep Rabbet Frames collection is the professional artist's workhorse, featuring a curated selection of frames with a rabbet depth ranging from 1.26 to 1.75 inches. This specific depth is the industry standard, engineered to perfectly accommodate the most common gallery-wrapped canvas size of 1.5 inches. This collection provides a secure, flush, and impeccably professional fit for a vast range of contemporary artworks on canvas and cradled panels.
The Perfect Solution for 1.5" Canvases
The 1.5-inch thick gallery-wrapped canvas has become a standard for contemporary artists who want their work to have substance and presence, even when unframed. However, for a truly finished, gallery-ready presentation, a frame is essential. This collection is tailor-made for that need. The rabbet depth of these frames provides the ideal amount of space to house a 1.5" canvas securely, ensuring it sits flush with the back of the frame. This allows for clean, professional backing and hanging, and prevents the artwork from protruding—a hallmark of a high-quality framing job.
Versatility for Custom Panels & Artworks
While ideal for the standard 1.5" canvas, the versatility of this rabbet depth range also makes it suitable for a variety of other dimensional artworks. It can comfortably house cradled wood panels that fall within this thickness range, as well as artworks on 1.5" canvases that have an additional backing board applied. This flexibility makes the collection a reliable choice for artists and framers working with a variety of substrates.
A Curated Selection of Professional Styles
This collection features a wide array of styles to complement any artwork, from sleek and modern floater frames to more traditional profiles. This ensures that you can find the perfect aesthetic match for your art while still getting the precise technical fit you need. You'll find our best-selling profiles in classic black, white, gold, silver, and natural wood, all engineered with the professional artist's needs in mind.
