Custom Frame That Plays With Narrow Shape Of Print
For this sea scape painting we designed a custom frame that plays with the narrow shape of the print. Our client liked the idea of a modern, clean look, so we allowed a little bit of the actual paper to show before the bevel of the mat comes in. The gray narrow frame has a […]
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 […]
Gold Tone Design for Antique Rice Paper Art
We love these antique rice paper prints designer friends from Redmond Aldrich Design brought in. Their vision for this custom picture frame design was perfect, a gold brass look for the actual frame is all this frame projected needed! We used all conservation and museum quality materials so it will protected for many, many years […]
Bold mats in picture frames
We love the traditional look of a bold mat! This black satin mat with a strong bevel really looks sharp with crow painting on music sheet! The ornate wood frame with its texture and dull black color complete this wall frame design. Underglass Custom Picture Framing in San Francisco is open daily from 11am to […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.
Classic look of frames in grey and silver
For these cool color paintings we chose a classic look: grey and silver frames to support the hues of the art and a simple white over mat to separate art from frame and art from glass. You can read more about these two pieces on our instagram feed, along with hundreds of other frame projects […]
We framed a lot of colorful art this week
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! As you can see there are so many options to design something beautiful for each piece that we get to […]
