Abstract
A plurality of frame members adapted to be joined one to another in a picture frame configuration. End portions of the frame members have "T" shaped slots, with adjacent slots comprising a combined "H" shaped recess. There are matching "H" shaped connectors which fit into pairs of adjacent slots to form the picture frame. The relative dimensions of the connector and the recesses are arranged so that limited rotational movement between adjacent end portions of the frame members are permitted so as to accommodate irregularities or skewing in the frame members.
