I sell all my paintings unframed. The sign of a good picture frame is that you don't notice it. A better analogy might be... a thoroughbred horse without a saddle or bridle?
But you can ride any horse without a saddle and a bridle... It's known as bareback.
My point wasn't on the practicalities of whether it was rideable.
A tidy and classy build would serve that frame much the same as a frame would to a painting. Complimenting it and allowing it to be appreciated properly... "framing" the frame.
Also, it was said with a dollop of faux romanticism so I actually don't care.
