ABSTRACT:
A picture frame assembly comprising a frame for displaying a photograph or similar two dimensional work of art, an upright support attached to the frame, and a base upon which the upright support is mounted. The frame includes a detachable transparent cover for securing the photograph to the frame. The front surface of the frame includes a recess for receiving a photograph and the cover. Surrounding the recess and forming a part of the front surface is a border portion. The recess comprises a bottom surface and a sidewall. The inner edge of the sidewall connects the sidewall to the bottom surface of the recess, and the outer edge of the sidewall connects the sidewall to the border portion. The cover is inserted through the front of the frame and received within the recess such that the front surface of the cover is disposed between the outer edge of the sidewall and the bottom surface of the recess. Included along the rear surface of the cover are a plurality of protruding legs which engage the bottom surface of the recess and ensure the secure retention of the cover within the recess. The upright support includes a front side having a first geometrical profile and a second side having a second geometrical profile. Each side of the upright support includes mounting means to facilitate the selective mounting of the frame upon either side of the support so as to allow the frame to be displayed in different orientations relative to the base.
