Abstract: A frame assembly for supporting and displaying a display panel comprising: at least one pair of elongated split rails supported in a joined, spaced apart, parallel relationship by a pair of first corner connectors that are permanently mated therewith, either a second pair of elongated split rails or a unitary rail and a pair of elongated unitary rails fixedly attached by sliding, barbed and threaded engagement to the preceding rails to form a four sided frame assembly.

Abstract: A picture frame in which the visual impact differs depending on the angle the view has with the frame. The frame is structured to lie in a primary plane and outside of the primary plane. The secondary portion, lying outside of the primary plane, is optionally curved to give an even different impression to the viewer. In one embodiment of the invention, the frame lies in two intersecting planes; in another, three planes; in yet another, four planes. Throughout the differing embodiments, a single envelope is formed which holds the picture within the different sections.
