A steady, rolling ripple across a face of about 17/32": the classic Dutch Golden Age frame molding, knife-scraped in solid hardwood.

Ripple molding #187-83 is about 17/32" wide and nearly 5/8" high. Choose maple, cherry, or walnut below. Each stick is 5 feet long.

The profile

The ripple runs through the whole profile, so every member rises and falls together, with crests about 1/2" apart and about 1/32" deep. That is enough to catch the light and throw a soft shadow, the way the 17th-century Dutch and Flemish frames do. It runs in an organic cadence: a steady rhythm, each wave a little different in length and depth, like hand-made period frames.

Ways to use it

  • As a slim sight-edge molding or liner inside a wider Dutch-style frame
  • As the whole frame for small paintings, prints, miniatures, and photographs
  • On boxes, small mirrors, and panels that call for an antique look
