Treramme

Treramme is a term sometimes used to describe a specific type of wooden picture frame. It refers to a frame constructed from three pieces of wood that are joined together to create the rectangular or square shape. These three pieces typically consist of two longer sides and one shorter side, with the fourth side being implied or created through the joinery of the other three. This construction method is distinct from frames made from four separate pieces. The term emphasizes the minimal number of components used in its assembly. Treramme frames are often found in artisanal or handcrafted contexts, where simplicity and a unique construction approach are valued. The visual effect can be a slightly asymmetrical or less conventional appearance compared to standard four-piece frames. While not a widely standardized industry term, "treramme" highlights a particular approach to frame making.
