Conserving Prints and Paintings with Museum Quality Frames!
When we get prints and paintings to frame we want to conserve them and we still have the choice between so many custom frame designs! From ornate to contemporary frames, with endless color and shape options, with or without mat and many more factors to consider. We love all the art we get to frame […]
Fun Framing Project!
This fun framing project for a sardine knit-work piece brought lots of smiles to us ! We used bright red, extra deep shadowbox walls to keep it as light and playful as the art. We love building custom picture frames for all sorts of art and objects! A shadowbox like the one in this photo […]
Framing Art That Deals With The Human Body
It is Friday and we love the way this custom frame we just finished before the weekend starts! The washy finish of the wooden frame mimics the movement of the psychedelic painting and the super clean 8 ply mat creates the perfect contrast in this frame design. Also, when we posted this in our @underglassframing […]
Carved Frame and Whitewash Shadowbox

Frames for Art of Color and Form
We finished this week with two amazing pieces of art: Artist Alex Voinea’s colorful painting called for a frame design where his art could freely continue its movement and we thought a floating technique and a thin whitewash Ash hardwood frame, with matching spacers would just do that! We used a clean gallery cap frame […]
Billy Idol 80’s Poster Framed
Here’s an amazing beat up Billy Idol poster we framed! We love the worn look from years and years pinned up to the wall! Our black frame with a silver line at the edge finishes this vintage look and cleans up in a nice way. This piece has huge sentimental value and we are so […]
1970’s San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) Poster Framed
Such a cool art show poster from 1970 for @sfaiofficial. Love the tag line “will patch its walls with this batch” art should be fun, accessible and not taken too seriously. Fun Fact: One of the owners of Underglass attended SFAI’s Photography program, well it wasn’t that affordable even 20 years ago… We love framing […]
Photography And The Art Of Framing
As custom picture framers we love the combination of photography and the art of framing. For this amazing photo of what might be a starling we took inspiration from the wings of the bird and chose a frame with detail that mimics the feel of the feathers. We rounded out this classic looking picture frame […]
