rectangular frames

Four-cornered picture boundaries

Rectangular frames are structures with four sides meeting at right angles, used to enclose, support, or display something.

The term most often refers to picture frames, window frames, or eyeglass frames with this common shape: The gallery hung the photographs in simple rectangular frames.

In technical contexts, rectangular frames may describe structural elements in construction or engineering.
