Picture frames are the decorative edging around a photo that makes the photo more attractive. Traditionally these antiques have been made of wood. However over time they are also being made of other materials like; bronze, silver, aluminum and plastics. A picture frame can be of any color or texture but gilding is what is commonly used to add the final finishing on a frame. There are different kinds of this antiques that most people use in their homes and offices.

During great events, people usually take the photos in order to remember these events as long as possible..

An individual places the photos on the frame and then places the frame on a table top as the name suggests.

An interesting way of storing photos is by use of photo mounts. A photo mount looks like a book where a person places the different kinds of photos and closes. When an individual would want to view the photos, they simple stretch out the mount.
