The story
About this frame
The Nielsen Alpha Black Oak aluminum picture frame brings German-engineered metal to your wall — a ready-made frame that ships from stock in standard sizes. The slim real-wood-veneered aluminum profile keeps the focus on your print, photo or poster.
Supplied glazed and ready to hang in portrait or landscape, every frame uses the same Nielsen Alpha profile we cut to measure. Add an optional mat for a gallery look (sold separately).
Choose from 10x15cm up to A1. Need a size that isn't listed? We cut the same profile to any dimension.
The craft
What makes it special
Nielsen frames are engineered in Germany to a standard galleries and professional framers trust — precision-milled profiles, clean mitred corners and a protective glazed front, supplied ready to hang. Where many ready-made frames feel flimsy, these are the genuine article: built to last and made to show your work off properly.
