Frame descriptions are from outside to inside. Where no country or region is specified, the country of origin is France. The dimensions of each frame are given at sight, giving exactly the measurements of what would be seen from a painting placed in that frame. As some frames are older, the dimensions of the two opposite sides may differ, in which case the larger of the two is used.

When there is a correspondence with a standard format, it is indicated in brackets: F equals figure, P equals landscape and M equals marine. A table on page 56 of the catalog gives standard frame measurements.

In most cases, frames can be used in either portrait or landscape configuration. Where this is not the case, a bullet symbol - precedes the batch number.

The index at the end of the catalog can be used to find batch numbers for a given format.

Rebates are usually at least 1 cm wide, except in the case of 17th-century Dutch frames. The dimensions at the bottom of the rebate can therefore be deduced from the sight dimensions by adding at least 2 cm. Photographs of the backs of frames can be used to estimate rebate dimensions more precisely.
