Wooden Frame For Original Mexican Art

We love this wooden frame with a worn look for our client’s original art painting she brought back from Mexico. We floated the paper on matboard because we wanted to show the originality and give it some shadow depth in the frame and used a museum quality glass to protect the vibrant colors from fading. […]

Simple Frame Designs for Art Prints

We loved framing these two art prints. Both have a fairly simple frame design. For the graphic print we chose to float the paper off the mat so it creates depth and some shadow. The colorful @jocelynhobbie print looks amazing in our off white frame design with a thick 8 ply mat which also creates […]

We Love the Art we get to Frame!

This past week we framed so much interesting art! From prints to paintings, whimsical and bold and colorful art- and we love it all. We floated some prints to get more shadow play, we matted with an added fillet for the classic and ornate look and we kept it bold and sharp with a deep […]

Framing and Floating Art on Mats

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 […]

Signed and numbered Andy Warhol lithograph of Jimmy Carter

We were honored to frame this signed and numbered Andy Warhol lithograph of Jimmy Carter here at our picture frame shop in San Francisco. We floated the piece on a dark mat for a strong contrast and to give separation to the clean white frame. 

Mark Twain Lion vs Jay Z Tiger

You gotta zoom in on the faces… this piece of art is called “Mark Twain Lion vs Jay Z Tiger.” We floated the paper it in a beautiful reclaimed pine frame from our good friends at Urban Ashes out of Detroit.   

Classic Picture Framing with a modern twist

We frame so many different pieces of art here at our shops in San Francisco and each photo, painting, canvas or object gets a frame that will be a good housing for the piece itself and also fit the clients taste and needs.  For these three images we wanted to show you how a classic […]
