Wide oval Shadow-Gap Frame, Beech unfinished, 50 mm deep, 35×30 to 205×171 cm

Shadow-gap frame, wide oval

An oval painting needs a frame that follows it: this one traces the wide ellipse of your canvas and leaves an even shadow all round.

For deep canvases on 36 or 48 mm

At 50 mm deep this frame around the wide oval is built for canvases on 36 or 48 mm stretcher bars: even deep gallery canvases disappear completely inside, leaving only the painting and the shadow gap in view. Profile and shadow gap are identical to our round beech frames. The same finish is available at 38 mm – switch above.

Pure beech – or oiled

We mill it from solid beech, glue and nail it at the back and sand it repeatedly. Left unfinished it stays light and ready for your own stain – or pick the linseed-oil option above.

Choosing the size

The outer size is 5 cm larger than your canvas, 2.5 cm per side: a 120×100 cm canvas takes the 125×105 cm frame – €489.00 here. 18 sizes from 35×30 cm to 205×171 cm (width × height), from €189.00. Intermediate sizes on request.

Will a 24 mm canvas work in the 50 mm frame? It fits, but sits deep inside and leaves a wide inner edge. For 24 mm canvases the 38 mm version of the wide oval frame looks better.
