Get quoteThe Large Embossed Turn Button Clip Gold (SKU: U16) is the most visually distinguished backing clip in XKY Framing’s catalogue. Its embossed dumbbell body and warm gold electrophoretic coating create a fastener that is both functional and aesthetically suited to luxury, antique, and heritage picture frames.
High-value antique frames often command attention to every detail, including backing hardware. The U16 Large Embossed Turn Button Clip Gold ensures that even the rear of the frame maintains the quality impression expected of premium art display. Its embossed surface also enables tool-free operation, protecting delicate gilded moulding from accidental scratches.

Same as U14/U15. Fasten with M3 screw. Rotate by hand using embossed grip. Suitable for heritage restoration work.
