Abstract
A picture frame including front and rear members each having a main panel and a rearwardly-projecting peripheral wall, at least the front member main panel being transparent. The peripheral walls of the member fit together frictionally to hold the members together with a picture between the main panels. A support element projects rearwardly from the rear member main panel, the support element including a mounting panel and an interconnecting wall joining the mounting panel to the rear member main panel. The mounting panel is spaced from the rear member main panel a distance at least twice as great as the depth of the peripheral wall of the front member, and the area of the mounting panel is no more than 25% of the area of the rear member main panel. Preferably, the main panel and peripheral wall of the front member are formed of one piece of molded plastic, and the main panel and peripheral wall of the rear member and the mounting panel and interconnecting wall of the support element are all formed of one piece of molded plastic.
