A picture frame is a container for a picture, such as a painting or photograph, intended to enhance it, make it easier to display, or protect it. Picture frames have traditionally been made of metal, wood, gold silver bronze, which is still the most. A picture frame may be of any color or texture. Some picture frames have elaborate moldings, which may relate to the subject matter. The picture frame may contain a pane of picture framing glass or a plastic glass substitute such as Plexiglas, or museum glass with anti-reflection and high UV protection is the best glazing option, to protect the picture. Picture framing glass may be treated with anti-reflective coatings to make the glass virtually invisible under certain lighting conditions.

A shadow box is an enclosed case used in dioramas with a scene or objects. These shadow boxes will usually contain the various medals and awards a person has earned, the flag of both their country and military service, sports memorabilia, musical instruments, and anything you may want to display. Art Illusions Gallery specializes in the construction and sale of shadow boxes. Price can range from just a few dollars to several hundred. People often purchase these in order to preserve, and still enjoy memorabilia.
