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!
Custom Framing: Before And After
What a difference a frame makes! Our client loves this piece but was over it’s original frame and wanted a custom frame that is more clean and modern. So, here in our San Francisco Picture Frame shop, we lightened it up with a white wash hardwood frame that has a sharp and clean edge that […]
Contemporary and traditional balance for vintage book illustrations!
We framed a series of these cool vintage book illustrations! We floated them deep on fabric in a clean whitewash frame to give a balance of contemporary and traditional
Fine art framing with a modern touch
Good things come in pairs! These oak floater frames with gilded gold accents are a perfect example for the dreamy couple of canvas paintings. We love fine art framing especially with a spin of modern combination of art and frame.
Museum quality shadow box for an antique book
Wow, this antique book from 1887 really needed a new housing! So we custom built this shadow box for it not only to protect it from light, dust and moisture – we also made it shine in a gorgeous muted gold frame. There is almost no reflection with the museum quality glazing either! San Francisco […]
Stacked Frame creates the perfect match for Art
We love working on a custom picture frame like this: A stacked frame made of one ebony walnut frame and a second feldspar green frame! The combined frames compliment the tones of the photograph so well and it feels like it the perfect match for art and frame! Again, we are so lucky to be […]
Great Art from Mexico!
We have been getting so much great art from Mexico! All different styles and all different mediums, keep supporting artists and keep em comin! We wanted to fully show the edges of this oil painting on canvas and designed a small gap between art and floater frame.
One way to frame a color photograph – keep it simple!
We just framed this amazing color print by photographer Stephanie Kulbach. We love this shot in the mirror with all its reflections and highlights and immediately thought we have to keep this frame design simple. A white wood frame, an 8-ply mat and a conservation framing glass that protects the print from fading. We love […]
How we frame three dimensional collectibles
We wanted to show you how we framed this amazing vintage “Berliner Weisse” Beer cardboard advertising. Because it is slightly three dimensional we wanted to give it some space in the frame and sink floated the piece in a double mat with nice wide margins. The collectible is attached with archival hinges, so there is […]
Another vintage poster framed – METROPOLIS!
For this vintage Metropolis Movie Poster we chose a frame that mimics the font in the print. Style wise and conceptually pretty perfect fit and we love how this custom picture frame job turned out. Again, we get to frame the best art here in our San Francisco frame shop!
