A system for framing decorative art or mirrors with narrow frames comprising a frame assembly, a polygonal shaped planar sheet of rigid or semi-rigid material, and lateral movement preventing elements strategically located between the front face of the planar sheet and the frame assembly. The lateral movement preventing elements are strips of resilient compressible foam tape with pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on opposite sides thereof for adherence to the planar sheet and to the frame assembly. The planar sheet is thereby attached to the frame assembly at the location of each of the lateral movement preventing elements, thus providing strength to the frame assembly and preventing the lateral movement or bowing of any of the frame parts with respect to the frame assembly. In bonding the planar surface to the strips, the weight of the planar surface is borne mostly by the strips instead of the mitered joints, greatly reducing the tendency for mitered joints to be separated.

Frames for pictures and the like

Base mouldings useful to form shadow boxes from a multitude of commonly-available decorative frame parts comprise three-dimensional lengths of wood or the like provided with an eight-sided, right-angled cross-section comprising a top side, a bottom side, a left side, a right side, an upper two-sided rabbet between the top side and the right side and a lower two-sided rabbet between the bottom side and the right side.
