Fun Framing Project!
This fun framing project for a sardine knit-work piece brought lots of smiles to us ! We used bright red, extra deep shadowbox walls to keep it as light and playful as the art. We love building custom picture frames for all sorts of art and objects! A shadowbox like the one in this photo […]
Framing Art That Deals With The Human Body
It is Friday and we love the way this custom frame we just finished before the weekend starts! The washy finish of the wooden frame mimics the movement of the psychedelic painting and the super clean 8 ply mat creates the perfect contrast in this frame design. Also, when we posted this in our @underglassframing […]
Oak Wood Frame For Art In Shadowbox
For this beautiful art print we used a white oak to pull on the warmth but still allow the piece to get the full attention. Oak is such a beautiful wood and here at Underglass Custom Picture Framing we are glad it’s been making a comeback! Shadowbox framing is just one of our specialties we […]
Welded Steel Frame for Ulrike Arnold’s Art on Canvas
Ulrike Arnold has travelled to all continents to paint with stones and earth and meteorites on site, mixed with binder to produce works on canvas. We designed a custom welded steel frame with a heavy linen mat to keep with the organic material feel for this piece of art from Broken Arrow Caves in Utah. […]
New Year – New Framing Projects!
The New Year started out with finishing this complex framing project for our Local 38. We handsewed these beautiful antique handmade banners on fabric mats and built three walnut shadowbox frames to give them a new housing. The custom frames are 5, 6 and 7 foot tall! These banners hung for decades in their old […]
Ornate Custom Frame with Fillet for Watercolor
We can’t stop looking at this amazing watercolor by Kerry Konow @3paintedbirds ! We love how this frame’s motif plays on the beautiful feather embellishment in the art. This is a classic custom framing design with an ornate gold wood frame, a matching fillet and a satin black mat that perfectly picks up on the […]
Classic Woodblock Print Framing
For this Woodblock print we thought immediately of a classic frame look. The olive veneer frame brings a warm tone and texture that works so well with this kind of art. A double mat in creamy tones finishes this custom frame design perfectly and fits on any wall. As custom picture framers in San Francisco […]
Family Treasure Picture Frame
We felt honored building this family treasure picture frame. Our client’s dad graduated from West Point USMA in 1972. He was one of only three black cadets to graduate that year. We used a fabric mat and fillet to give it a structured, sharp look, classic frame design, but more importantly we used acid-free and […]
Float mounted print with rustic wood veneer frame
We added a bit tension to this snakes – mouse print by float mounting the art in a shadow box with a rustic wood veneer frame. We have gotten so many great prints, paintings and other pieces of art to frame here at our custom picture frame shops in San Francisco. Thank you for trusting […]
Framing and Floating Art on Mats
We always try to work with the whole piece of art and that includes the actual paper or medium. For the colorful flower vase painting from @creativegrowth the frame appears to be just a clean gallery cap, but when you see it at an angle you see that beautiful warm wood tone on the side […]
