French design mood with this 1800’s textile pattern!
This French textile pattern is from the late 1800’s! It’s actually five panels that we hinged together and mounted as one large piece. We found the perfect linen to float it on, almost looks like it’s taken straight from the pattern! And the ornate frame completes the feel for an antique French design. We love […]
Framing for collectors
We love collectors! Our client saved more than a few political buttons over the years and decided they wanted to display them! There’s so much going on with color and visual texture so we designed an acrylic plexbox instead of a traditional frame to keep it as clean as possible.

Stepping into the new week like Kraftwerk
KRAFTWERK is an experimental electronic band formed in Germany in 1970. They are innovators and pioneers of electronic music and among the first successful acts to popularize the genre. Looks like they were also the first to use Gorilla Glue in their hair, but we couldn’t find any concrete evidence about that. This welded frame […]

Underglass Custom Picture Framing is one of San Francisco’s oldest framing business. We started out on Townsend in the 80s, moved to Church Street in the early 90s, opened […]

Straight out of our neighborhood – The Castro Theater
This print really has us missing going to the theater! We especially miss the 98 year old San Francisco landmark; the Castro Theater, only a 5 minute walk from our shop through the neighborhood! Rather than playing on the obvious red or gold, we chose the color that’s created by the gold overlapping the red. […]
