CONT

L'emploi d'un cadre de transport permet de protéger un tableau non encadré ou un tableau encadré dont le cadre est fragile. Il renforce aussi la peinture et lui confère une plus grande rigidité, ce qui réduit les risques auxquels elle est exposée lors de sa manipulation ou si elle est échappée par mégarde. [...] Les cadres de transport peuvent être fabriqués de divers matériaux, mais ils sont généralement construits en bois.
