1.25-Inch White Ready-Made Picture Frame — Luminous Coastal & Contemporary Cap
Crafted from solid kiln-dried hardwood and finished in a smooth, architectural Gallery White, this 1.25-inch Cap profile creates an airy, light-filled boundary for coastal photography, pastel watercolors, children's nurseries, and modern minimalist interiors.
The Collector's Story: Zero Visual Weight for Sun-Drenched Rooms
When framing high-key aerial beach photography, delicate botanical watercolors, or vibrant contemporary pop art, a dark black or heavy wood moulding can feel like a heavy cage around airy subject matter.
Our 1.25-Inch White Ready-Made Picture Frame is the go-to specification of Hamptons and Fire Island interior designers. On a colored or wallpapered wall, its crisp white geometry pops with fresh graphic clarity; on a gallery-white wall, the frame virtually dissolves into the architecture—allowing your artwork to float in pure light.

Curatorial Specifications & Conservation Engineering
Cheap white plastic and MDF frames turn chalky or yellow when exposed to sunlight. Our 1.25-Inch White Gallery Frame is milled from solid kiln-dried hardwood and sealed with a UV-stable satin gallery white gesso and lacquer finish that stays crisp and clean.
- Precision Mitres: Hand-joined at our Farmingdale, NY facility for tight, seamless 45-degree corners.
Two designer-favorite ways to mat artwork inside our 1.25-Inch White frame:
- Monochromatic White-on-White Gallery Look: Pair with Crescent Select® Pure White or Cloud Grey matboard for an ultra-clean gallery presentation where 100% of the color comes from your art.
- Pastel & Coastal Color Accents: Pair with Blue Monday, Carnation, Peony, or Warm Summer Yellow for nurseries, sunrooms, and botanical prints.
Standard picture frame glass contains iron oxide, which casts a noticeable greenish-gray tint over white matboards and white frames!
- Pure Water-White Optical Clarity: Pair your white frame with Tru Vue® Framing Grade Acrylic, 99% UV Conservation Clear Acrylic, or Optium Museum Acrylic so your whites stay pure white—plus shatterproof safety for bedrooms and children's rooms! Read Why Glass is Obsolete.
