The story
About this frame
The Nielsen Alpha Black Oak aluminium picture frame pairs German-engineered metal with a warm black-oak woodgrain finish — a ready-made frame that ships from stock in standard sizes. The slim aluminium profile keeps all the focus on your print, photo or poster.
Supplied glazed and ready to hang in portrait or landscape, every frame uses the same Nielsen Alpha profile we cut to measure — so these off-the-shelf sizes match our made-to-measure metal frames exactly.
Choose from 10×15cm up to A1. Need a size that isn't listed? We cut the same profile to any dimension.

The craft
What makes it special
Nielsen frames are engineered in Germany to a standard galleries and professional framers trust — precision-milled profiles, clean mitred corners and a protective glazed front, supplied ready to hang. Where many ready-made frames feel flimsy, these are the genuine article: built to last and made to show your work off properly.
