Abstract: A picture frame includes a pair of brackets secured in interlocking crossed relation at each corner of a picture assembly. Each bracket includes a turned end for engaging a lateral edge of the picture assembly, and an elongated resilient body extending along the back of the picture assembly perpendicular to the lateral edge engaged by the turned end. The resilient body is angled rearwardly toward the turned end, and the turned end includes an outer web extending forwardly from the resilient body and an end flange joined to the outer web at an acute angle extending lengthwise toward the resilient body and terminating in a contact end. A cord structurally interconnects the pairs of brackets and urges each pair toward a central point on the back of the picture assembly, whereby the resilient bodies are forced forwardly against the back of the picture assembly and the contact ends are forced rearwardly against the front of the picture assembly inwardly from the lateral edges.
