Western Frames: American Hardwoods and Bold Grain for Frontier Art
The Western Frames collection is built to complement the art of the American West — landscapes, wildlife, and ranch life. These frames draw their character from the wood itself: American hardwoods and Italian-made veneers chosen for their prominent, warm grain. The result is an authentic, natural border that grounds Western artwork without competing with it.
The Character of Real Grain
Western art calls for warmth and texture, and nothing delivers it like natural wood. Cherry, walnut, and maple bring rich tone and depth, while figured veneers — including burl and ebonized grains — add movement and individuality, so no two frames are quite alike. It is the grain, not gimmickry, that gives these frames their frontier character.
A Curated Collection of Distinctive Styles
The collection spans warm woods and grain-forward profiles:
- The Kiawah: a wood floater frame in cherry, walnut, or ebonized finish — deep, natural grain with a clean floating reveal.
- The Newbury: a dark or gray wood floater — warm, weathered tone with a modern floating gap.
- The Romney: a wood floater frame in elm burl, poplar burl, or walnut — richly figured grain with a bold, one-of-a-kind character.
- The Carlton: a natural cherry stem with a warm, reddish grain and slim profile.
- The Hammond: a walnut stem with sleek square lines and rich woodgrain.
Materials and Craft
Every Western frame is made from quality American hardwoods and Italian-made veneers, joined with precise, durable construction. The emphasis is on prominent grain and honest materials — a tactile, characterful border finished to gallery standard.
