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.
FAQs
What size artwork does this frame hold?
The size shown is the print, photo or poster size the frame holds. Choose the size that matches your artwork — there is an option for every standard size from 10x15 cm up to A1.
Does it come with glass?
Yes. Every Nielsen Alpha frame has a protective shatterproof cast acrylic front, lighter and safer for international delivery as standard.
Can I hang it portrait and landscape?
Yes. A4 and larger include sawtooth hangers for both orientations; smaller sizes have an easel back for the shelf or desk.
Is it real aluminium?
Yes — a genuine German-engineered Nielsen Alpha aluminium profile, 7.8 mm wide, in an anodised or real-wood-veneered finish.
Can I get a size that is not listed?
Yes. We cut the same Nielsen Alpha profile to any size — see our made-to-measure aluminium frames for a custom fit.
