When does a frame become a piece of fine furniture?

When it's crafted that way. -Heirloom Quality-

1) We use only the highest quality moldings from Picture Woods, Roma and Larson Juhl; solid wood moldings not particle wood composites or extruded plastic like used in less expensive frames. Even if a cheap frame looks good at first, six months later you may start to see warping and separation at corners. Quality frames hold their look for decades.

2) We're experts at mounting all types of artwork, from photographs just printed to antique prints and even three dimensional objects. For example, we use PH balanced dry mount adhesives to mount photographs to the sub board rather than taping. Taping's cheaper, but taped prints ripple after a time and look cheap. Dry mounted prints will look beautiful indefinitely. And when work does have to be attached using other means, we use only museum quality materials.

3) From the moment you come in, you are working with experienced print makers as well as framers. Whether we are handling your artwork or making the prints that will be framed, you can feel secure knowing that we have the experience. We'll help you pick out mattes and moldings that compliment your work. We can explain the differences in glass vs. acrylics vs. laminates for displaying and protecting work. We know our materials and we know what works.
