Contact us today about your framing needs

Although a good artistic eye is something that can't be taught, there are certain rules of custom framing which lead to good design that can. When followed, these guidelines, well known to your custom framer, produce a beautiful and well-balanced framing presentation that enhances the work of art without overpowering it.

For example, did you know that the width of the mat border should never match the width of the frame? This tends to draw the eye away from the art they surround.

Your designer will guide you through the decision making process and make suggestions based on their knowledge of color and design theory. Together, you may decide that the piece should be matted - possibly using multiple mats to achieve a desired effect. Once you have agreed on that part of the frame package design, we can help you pick out just the right frame. Though there are literally thousands of frame samples on our walls, you will find that the designer can help narrow them down to the ones that really work with your piece. The additions of filets, French panels, French lines and beveled accents will all add to the beauty of the end result.

Other things you will consider during the design phase are the type of glazing as well as the type and technique of the mounting process. Our suggestions will be based on our knowledge of conservation framing and what is appropriate for the preservation of your art.
