Custom poster framing in San Francisco is one of our specialties at Underglass Custom Picture Framing, and this piece is a great example of what it can do for bold, graphic work.
We recently framed a poster from Stacy Peralta’s Santa Monica show, “The Joy of Decay.” THE JOY OF DECAY. It’s a great example of what custom framing can do for a bold, graphic piece. For this one, we chose a steel welded frame with a distressed finish, letting the paint break down into raw, rusted steel. No mat. The poster sits straight into the frame, so the bold typography runs edge to edge.
Color is one of our favorite parts of custom framing
One of our favorite parts of custom framing is choosing color. Steel welded frames come in a huge range of finishes and shapes, from clean and modern to raw and weathered like this one. That range is part of what makes custom framing so rewarding. When the frame and the art feel like they belong together, the whole piece comes alive.
That feeling – when the frame and the art just belong together – is one of the most satisfying things about this work. It is what keeps us excited about every project that comes through the door.
Optium Museum Acrylic on every poster we frame
Every poster we frame gets conservation glazing that blocks 99% of UV rays, so colors stay true instead of fading over time. This poster got the Optium Museum Acrylic: it won’t shatter like glass, which matters for safety in any home. And it cuts glare far better than standard conservation glazing, so you can actually see the art clearly from across the room.
This matters just as much for a poster fresh off a gallery wall as it does for one pulled out of a closet after twenty years. We frame plenty of both. A brand-new print from a show like this one, and older rolled-up posters tied to memories our customers aren’t ready to let go of. Either way, the goal is the same: protect it, and give it a frame it deserves.
