The frame along with its mounts protects and complements the artwork. Art work framed well will stay in good condition for a longer period of time.
As picture frames can be expensive when purchased new, some people remove pictures from a frame and use the frame for other pictures but its always not the case, because you can find the Photo frame at unbeatable price at Poster Frame Depot. Picture frames have traditionally been made of wood, which is still the most common material, although other materials are used including silver, bronze, aluminum, and plastics such as polystyrene. A picture frame may be of any color or texture, but gilding is common, especially on older wooden frames.
Some picture frames have elaborate mouldings which may relate to the subject matter. Complicated older frames are often made of moulded and gilded plaster over a plain wood base. Picture frames come in a variety of profiles, but generally the lengths of moulding feature a "lip" and rabbet, the function of which is to allow a space to hold in the materials in the frame. The lip extends usually about a quarter of an inch past the edge of the rabbet.
