A picture frame stand has a bracket ( 10 ) for mounting to the rear of a picture frame or to a panel at the rear of a frame. A support ( 12 ) is mounted pivotally to the bracket ( 10 ) by a cylindrical bar ( 16 ) received in a channel ( 33 ). The surface of the cylindrical bar is smooth and the channel ( 33 ) is a part-cylindrical section of the bracket ( 10 ) whose surface also is smooth, but with an inherent radial springiness to grip the smooth bar sufficiently to hold a selected angular position between the bracket and support. However, the frictional grip can be overcome by manually so that the angular disposition of the bracket and support can be adjusted. The channel ( 33 ) is defined so that the mouth of the part-cylindrical channel will face towards the rear panel or picture frame.
