What sets this frame apart?
The Banister Frame features a distinctive curved wood profile that offers a modern interpretation of a classic picture frame. The rounded shape creates a subtle sculptural look while maintaining a timeless aesthetic.
What finishes does the Banister Frame come in?
The Banister Frame is available in two natural wood finishes:
Walnut – Solid walnut with natural grain variation. Because walnut is a natural material, each frame will have unique color and grain patterns.
Oak – Solid ash wood with a tinted ash finish.
Both finishes are sanded smooth and left unstained and unlacquered to highlight the natural character of the wood.

What are the dimensions of the frame?

Frame size measurements refer to the inside height and width of the back of the frame, which is the standard measurement method used across the framing industry.
What’s included with the Banister Frame?

Your selected frame size and finish
A museum-quality print
A white 8-ply mat
Backing and hanging hardware corresponding to the selected frame size
What size print comes in each frame?
Print size varies depending on the frame size and mat selection chosen during the ordering process.
Frame measurements refer to the interior dimensions of the frame, and the mat opening will be sized accordingly to fit the selected print.
You can view the specific dimensions of the print and mat while building your project in the editor.
What type of paper is used for the framed print?
Archival, acid-free matte paper with a smooth, neutral-white finish that lets colors and details appear crisp and true to life.
What printing method is used?
Prints are created using inkjet giclée printing.
This method uses 10 ink colors to produce high-resolution images with smooth gradients and accurate color reproduction.
Can I order the frame without a print?
Yes. You can order the Banister Frame with or without a print.
To order a blank frame, simply proceed through the editor without uploading an image. Please note that there is no price adjustment for frames ordered without a print.
Can I change the print inside my frame?
Yes, but the process depends on the backing style.
Paper-back frames
To change the print, you will need to remove the hanging hardware and open the paper dust cover.
For frames 20 × 20 and larger, the print is adhered to the foam board, and the mat is adhered to the print, so the print cannot be replaced while keeping the same mat.
Flexi-point frames
The backing can be removed, and the print can be replaced easily. These frames are designed to allow quicker print swaps.
What backing options are available?
Backing and hanging hardware vary depending on the selected frame size and backing style.
Paper backing (standard frame backing)
This option finishes the frame with a paper dust cover on the back.
Sizes smaller than 16 × 20 include a sawtooth hanger
Sizes 16 × 20 and larger include a hanging wire
Frames larger than 20 × 20 are only available with this paper backing option.
With paper-backed frames, the print is adhered to the foam board backer, and the mat is adhered to the print to ensure proper alignment and stability.
Flexi-point (toggle) backing
This removable backing uses flexi-points that allow the artwork to be easily changed.
Available for frame sizes up to 20 × 20
Includes a sawtooth hanger
Unlike paper-backed frames, prints are not adhered to the backing when using flexi-point backing.
