The frame that came with the picture was not like the one you see in the catalog. The frame that came with the picture was more than twice the size of the one that is pictured and very gaudy. Way to overpowering. I wish it was like the one pictured. it made the picture itself look very small and took away from the scene depicted in the picture. It was as if it were all about the frame and not the picture. The finish on the frame was also unlike the one pictured in the catalog. I am in the process of repainting the frame to help it look better and not so overpowering to the picture itself. I am using a combination of blue, black and gold to give it a more Egypt like finish. It is definitely an improvement. If what I received was like what was pictured in the catalog I would have giving a five star rating.
