A wooden frame is of quality and gives its frame the perceived prestige and protection, which are both appeal to a buyer. The frame indicates that the painting is maintained; wood provides stability, status and aesthetic balance. An appropriate frame can be added to the palette, texture and style of the art, which makes it more pleasing to the eye in a gallery or in a residential setting. This tends to add value on appraisal because condition, presentation and framing are counted. Consumers will be ready to pay higher when they observe the artwork, which is professionally displayed and maintained, not only the art alone but also its overall appearance.
