From the late seventeenth until the twentieth century, pine was the most frequently used wood, but lime, a softer, paler timber, was often used for the most delicate carving as in the State Bedchamber and adjoining 'cabinet' rooms at Beningbrough. The earliest frames were joined at the corners with a lap joint, where the frame sides overlap, but by the eighteenth century, the mitre joint, where the corners are cut diagonally and are joined by a key on the rear side of the frame for oil painting, had become universal.

In the sixteenth century frames for oil painting were usually painted, but from the seventeenth century onwards many frames for oil painting were gilt, that is covered in gold leaf, or finished in silver and lacquered for protection and to give the appearance of gold. The gold leaf was attached by an oil-based adhesive ('oil gilt') or one which was water-based ('water gilt'). Water gilding was a more time-consuming process and required a special preparation of clay (the 'bole') which provided the firm, smooth foundation necessary for the gilding to be burnished, or polished.
Elaborately carved frames for oil painting were expensive to make. It was cheaper to produce ornament by pressing a pliable material, such as papier-mâché or compo, in a mould, and then setting it on a wooden framework. Papier-mâché was used in the mid-18th century and again for a time in the mid-nineteenth century. It was, however, the introduction of compo, a composition of whiting, glue, resin and linseed oil, in the late eighteenth century, which drove out the carved frame. Compo allowed for larger and more richly ornamented frames but its fragility proved a drawback.
