Classic Matte Black Shadow Box Shadowbox Frame

The essential black shadowbox

A clean, versatile shadowbox in matte black with a 0.75-inch moulding width and 0.875 inches of usable interior depth. The neutral finish works in any room and puts the focus on what's inside. challenge coins, pinned butterflies, dried lavender sprigs, ticket stub collections, or a child's first pair of shoes. At just under an inch of depth, this frame handles flat collectibles and lightweight dimensional pieces without bulk. It's the one most customers start with and the one they come back to reorder.
