How to Pick a Picture Frame

My name is Amitavh Bhattacherji. I am speaking on behalf of the Expert Village. And I present my own company, Abstract Frames and Supplies, private limited. I will now try to show to you, how important choosing the frame for a painting is. You will see that this painting is very bright, so the colors are bright. So the frame we have chosen is a light, simple frame. Though it's a little ornamental, we would have liked a frame without these ornamental spots. But, since we did not have another color close to the color that would suit the painting, we chose this. Now being cut and joined by a machine and now again if I show you the back portion, the canvas has been stretched on a wooden structure and the frame has been held to the canvas with specially designed hardware. Finally, I would like to mention, that the hanging system behind is three-fourths the distance from the total length of the canvas. So, that the painting, when it is hanged, hangs straight, and doesn't fall towards the front that is away from the wall. I hope that I have been able to explain my point. Thank you.
