Classic Gold Frame for Certificates
Certificate Custom Framing doesn’t have to be always a black satin finish frame and a white mat. On many degrees or official papers it is the perfect look! For this University of Virginia Certificate we opted for a classic gold frame with complementing gold fillets and an off white mat. The softness of the printed […]
San Francisco For The Weekend
Yes, we were able to frame again two San Francisco themed art works! And just as different as these pieces are we also came up with two very different custom picture framing designs. This 60”x43” photo of a container ship entering the Bay is SO striking. We used a hand wrapped fabric mat to match […]
This week’s framing projects at Underglass
We had some very special custom framing projects this past week: From a special gold leafed mat for a California Rodeo poster; we built a shadowbox for some items that were collected from the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles; we played with depth and no color at all because we wanted the full focus to […]
Elegant hand wrapped mats and hand carved gold leaf frame
Donna Schuster was an award winning watercolor artist born in 1883. She moved to California in 1913 and this painting is from that era. We used two hand wrapped fabric mats and a hand carved gold leaf frame to pull on the tone and keep with the period. We also love how this custom frame […]
Small picture frames? No problem!
Who says custom picture framing has to be always big?! We just framed this beautiful small painting. We designed around scale and shape rather contrast and came up with a 3 ½ inch frame. We think this warm silver looks so elegant and clean and is just perfect for the art! Underglass Custom Picture Framing […]

From New Order’s official poster for their 1983 album release, to yellow psychedelic vibes from @sunburntpsyche and a very busy colorful oil painting – We had some amazing art in our San Francisco Frame shops!

Playing with color for a still life picture frame
We had fun playing with color with this still life painting! We stacked a lacquered frame inside a gold scoop picture frame with a silk liner to give depth and separation. We love our job as custom picture framers here in San Francisco!
Color and warmth
We love this Turkish Mosaic with its rich colors and opted to frame it in a warm burl frame with an added a gold fillet. The fabric itself is floated on a satin mat! When we get pieces like this to custom frame into our San Francisco Frame Shops we instantly get our creative design […]
