What makes a good framer?

Our objective is to ensure that your artwork, photographs, ephemera, historical documents and items of sentimental significance are housed in a safe frame. We do not cut corners in order to be cost-effective; we believe in honesty and integrity. We keep up with museum-quality framing improvements and research in order to bring you the best products and methods of housing artwork. While many framers claim to use only the best materials, we actually do. All stock materials are fully archival and meet the highest conservation standards. We prefer to take the time to explain the best choices and then allow you to make an educated decision. We have seen the damage that poor framing techniques have inflicted on valuable works of art, necessitating a trip to the restorer, or even worse, causing irreversible damage.

We are experts in all areas of framing, from photographs to textiles and works on paper to unusual objects. We are creative and are adept at problem-solving. We take great pride in our work and do not have a factory-style approach to framing in our studio— each piece is given individual consideration and is framed in-house.

Give us a try and you'll see the difference.
