A2 Picture Frames
A2 picture frames and photo frames hold artwork measuring 42 × 59.4cm (16.5 × 23.4in). A2 is a statement size: ideal above a sofa, sideboard or bed, and large enough to anchor a gallery wall on its own. For the full dimensions in mm, inches and pixels, see our A2 size guide.
To give a smaller piece breathing space, add a mount for A2 frames. Compare A3, A1 and the inch sizes 16×24in and 18×24in. At this size, a natural wood or ornate frame really shows off its profile.
Every frame is handmade to order by Guild Certified Framers, with gallery-grade, shatterproof acrylic with UV protection. Explore 100+ finishes in all picture frames.
