Just in Case

Question

We can be large

We can be small

Or otherwise rest

Against the wall.

We are usually in

Available if fit

Or no longer when

We are out of it.

Some are said

Even to be royal

But the finest made

May not be so loyal.

Identifiably shown

With all certainty

The case now known

What we must be.

Paintings, in or out of their frames

not so loyal could refer to fakes

certainly works with the first stanza and with your explanation, could stretch to some, maybe even most, of the rest but not really justified as to "available if fit". not what I had in mind and will have to deny as an alternate answer as well. as always tho, great logic.

paintings have to "fit" in their frames, and in a museum must be "fit" or in good condition in order to be available to be seen.
