Have you just bought or finished a painting and want to frame it beautifully? Opt for an American crate for paintings. If chosen correctly, this type of framing offers many advantages, both in terms of aesthetics and functionality. LABEL ART explains why.

The advantages of opting for American cases in general

Sober yet elegant, American crates showcase your works to best advantage. Simply composed of four slats fixed together, American crates have no rabbet or glass cover. Works of art are simply placed on a flat base. Thanks to this very specific minimalist character, the works on display are neither overloaded nor distorted.

What's more, the works framed in the American crates seem to float in mid-air. Indeed, the spacing between the work and the edges of the frame considerably enhances perspective by creating an impression of depth. As a result, the public's attention is entirely focused on the works on display.

In addition to enhancing their beauty, American crates offer optimum protection for the works they frame. The space between the work and the inner edges of the frame effectively prevents any direct contact. This absence of contact significantly reduces the risk of damage to framed paintings.

Criteria for choosing an American painting crate

To choose the right American painting crate, you need to consider the following criteria:

• the model of American crate. In concrete terms, there are 3 types of American crates available today: the box profile, the stepped profile and the L profile. These 3 models are quite similar, but one element distinguishes them from one another. It's theway in which the artwork is attached. With the box and staircase models, the paintings are positioned at the inner edges of the frames. L-shaped frames, on the other hand, arepositioned 1 or 2 centimetres from the inner edges,

• the dimensions of the paintings to be framed. If you opt for American box and staircase frames, the centimetre dimensions of the paintings must correspond exactly to those of the inside of the American boxes. If you opt for L-shaped models, it's advisable to include a margin of 1 or 2 centimetres in your measurements. This margin is essential to achieve the famous floating effect,

• the desired visual harmony. A natural wood case is best suited to a classicspace . In a contemporary space, American crates with minimalist black or white frames are more appropriate,
