Abstract: A decorative frame for a picture utilizing a flat piece of plate glass of generally uniform thickness having a front face and a rear face. A translucent band is etched on the front face of the piece of glass to define a picture viewing area. An ornamental design is etched on the rear face of the piece of glass outwardly of the translucent band. u-shaped plastic channels are adhered to the rear face of the piece of glass directly behind the translucent band so as not to be visible from the front face of the piece of glass. A picture backing board is snuggly received in the channels to hold the picture against the rear surface of the glass with the viewing area defined by the translucent band. A backing board support leg is attached to the rear of the backing board.
