ABSTRACT:
A picture frame is provided which has a frame portion and a frictionally retained insert. The frame portion is a single piece of plastic including a recess defined by a raised wall. The raised wall includes a plurality of recess-facing constricting tabs which as a result of their sloped faces increase frictional pressure on the insert as the insert is placed deeper into the recess. The insert is a flat member sized to snugly fit into the recess and to prevent a photograph from unintentionally exiting the recess. Included along the peripheral edge of the insert are a plurality of slots to cooperatively engage the constricting tabs of the frame. The front surface of the frame has an applique placed thereon and is shaped such that a portion of the front surface extends through the applique.
