passe-partout


Explanation:
This pertains to pictures or photographs. A passe-partout is a frame in itself, so the part 'rahmen' does not require translating.
"Passepartoutrahmen" is a pleonasm.
I don't know for sure about "Schrankoberkranz", but I suggest you investigate the words 'crib' and 'curb'.

Yes, the passe-partout could be made of cardboard/oblique paper or similar, but it is then placed inside the picture frame …, not inside the 'passe-partout frame'.
At least, that is my opinion.

neutral  Birgit Gläser: I always thougth the passepartout is the cardboard/material in which the cutout is made that is then placed between frame and picture...
