Oh! I see now. You actually take it apart and then fit it around the artwork. Interesting . . .

A frame like that will have to detach somehow. For most of the metal frames I've seen, each side detaches. The bottom/back of the fames are joined together using an 'L' connector and then tightened using screws.

If you have a lot of space in the area where you put the cels and matt, you will probably need to buy some acid free mat board to put behind it and fill in the space (depending on the type of frame).

(EDIT: man I must type slow

Metal...but mostly because it looks better in the rooms I'm hanging them, truthfully if a wood frame went better, I'd switch in a heartbeat...

So I suppose that means I don't really have a preference, but I do own more metal frames...

As promised I added pics of my framed cels to my webpage, mentioned that on my website forum topic but thought I would mention here as well, enjoy!
