The essential, classic cabinetmaker’s frame, the Basic Aurora is the simplest mortise-and-tenon frame. Architectural in feel, versatile and handsome in a restrained way, it gathers its beauty from the wood itself and the craftsmanship of the joinery. Playing off the basic form, we’ve used chamfers and outset corners to complete the line.
Your choice of corner treatment to articulate the joint.
