These deep tray frames (also called floater frames) can be used to float mount canvases or panels, and can be finished in any number of different ways. Usually a gap of about 5 to 10mm is left around the canvas to give the floating effect.

Canvas float frame
This canvas float frame was damaged so I have just tidied up the finish with black casein paint on the inner part, and red casein paint under the water based acrylic gold paint. The profile is a simple 'L' shape, the canvas sits in the tray and is held in place with screws. The canvas has a gap of about 1/4" all round which gives the floating effect. The gold paint has been stippled on and is a very simple and cost effective finish.
