Archival Picture Framing
Our archival framing services protect valuable artwork using acid-free mats, UV-filtering glass, and museum-grade materials. This specialized technique prevents yellowing and deterioration while maintaining visual clarity. Each frame is custom-crafted to accommodate specific preservation requirements for paintings, documents, and photographs.
Shadow Box Framing
We create custom shadow boxes for displaying three-dimensional objects like sports memorabilia, military honors, and family heirlooms. Our designers construct depth-enhancing compartments that protect delicate items while creating visually striking presentations. These specialized frames transform everyday objects into lasting decorative displays.
Needlework Framing
Our experts handle needlepoint, cross-stitch, and embroidery pieces using traditional stretching techniques. We mount textiles on acid-free supports with breathable backing materials that maintain fabric integrity. This specialized framing method showcases intricate details while preventing sagging or distortion over time.
Frame Restoration
We restore vintage and damaged frames to their original condition using period-appropriate materials and techniques. Our specialists repair gesso, water gilding, and carved details while maintaining historical authenticity. This service preserves the artistic value of original frames for continued display.
Custom Design Consultation
Our design team provides personalized framing recommendations for residential and commercial spaces. We offer in-home consultations to coordinate frames with existing decor and lighting conditions.

I had three pictures to frame and one to be repaired. Ross helped me stay within my budget. Everything came back better than expected. I could not be happier!
