A wall photo frame is a decorative and protective edging for a picture or photograph, used for easier and safer display. It sets the picture apart from its surroundings while aesthetically integrating it with them. Traditionally made of wood, frames can also be crafted from materials like metals or stiff plastics. They usually have an L-shaped profile, with a rabbet functioning as a shelf to hold the frame glazing, spacers, the picture itself, and backing boards. Picture frame mouldings come in a wide variety of profiles and designs, often referring to the subject matter a Wall Photo Frames  Wall Photo Frames .
The frame may contain a protective glazing of picture framing glass or acrylic sheet. This glazing can have anti-reflective coatings and UV filters to protect the art from light damage and static electric forces. Spacers or mats are used to keep the picture safely behind the inner surface of the glazing, preventing the object from becoming adhered to the underside of the glazing.
Wall photo frames come in various shapes, including square, rectangular, circular, and oval frames. More unusual shapes like footballs, stars, or hearts can be hand-carved by a professional wood carver or carpenter. Picture frames have evolved throughout history, with early examples found in ancient Egyptian and Greek art, and the first carved wooden frames appearing in twelfth and thirteenth century Europe.
