Framing Needs
Oil paintings have a different set of framing needs than most other paintings. If your oil painting is stretched on a wooden frame, it will be thicker than most other types of paintings, requiring a frame with a deep rabbet. Oil paintings are not displayed under glass, because they need to breathe. Typically the back is covered with paper, not backing board.
