The right frame should complement both the artwork and the space where it will be displayed. We help guide selections based on color, scale, style, and overall presentation to create a balanced final design.
A well-designed display should connect the artwork to the surrounding space without overpowering either one. Our design process and vast selection allows us to focus on finding the right balance between the piece itself and the room it will live in.
Matting is a flat acid free layer used to create visual spacing around artwork while helping separate it from the glazing for protection. Liners are typically deeper decorative elements used inside frames or shadowboxes to add dimension and detail.
Hand-wrapped mats and liners are custom-finished using fabrics like linen, silk, or designer textiles for a more elevated look. They add texture, depth, and craftsmanship that standard paper mats cannot achieve.

For exact matches: We carry a large selection and often are able to match or source a frame that a customer has already. Certain older frames or unique items may not be available any longer.
For complimentary frames: We regularly design frames that coordinate with existing frames, furniture, mirrors, and architectural details throughout a home or office. This helps create a cohesive and intentional overall look.

We offer a range of glazing options including standard glass, non-glare glass, UV-protective glass, and museum-quality glazing. Each option provides different levels of clarity, reflection control, and preservation benefits.
Conservation framing uses archival materials and preservation-focused techniques designed to minimize fading, discoloration, and long-term damage. Acid-free materials and UV protection help preserve artwork, photographs, and memorabilia for years to come.
