Liner uses with picture frames

LINERS How's & When's

How's & When's

Liners basically act on paintings or fabric art as mats do on paper art. They are used for 4 main reasons. 1). To add an accent color to the overall frame job ( above liner's sign with blue ). 2). To give the eye some "relief" between the art & the frame. 3). To add size and/or dimension to the finished piece. 4). To match existing artwork previously framed with liners.

Frames with liners are often followed by a "fillet", the inner most portion of these designs. Fillets either... a). bring out a certain color in the art or b). re-introduce the frame's finish or texture before the art happens

You can also see fillets utilized on matting by going to the " FRAME / MAT & FILLET " section.

Below you will see some of the profiles (shapes) that are available with liners. Most of these come "pre-covered" with White or Natural (beige) Linen, and ALL are able to be "custom hand-wrapped" in any one of a thousand plus fabrics.
