Framing an abstract art print
We found a mat color that perfectly matched the color of this abstract art print and cut an 8-ply mat to create space and depth for this print in its new frame! The paper is floated for even more depth and movement. We opted for a whitewash wood frame that supports the overall frame design […]
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!

We think it’s looking pretty sharp! Museum quality picture framing done right here in San Francisco!
Framing and conserving a Navajo Tapestry
This beautiful Navajo tapestry has been in our client’s family for years. We sewed it to a 4-ply mat and siliconed the mat to the acrylic. In order to not squish the tapestry and to conserve it we built shadowbox walls in the frame between the acrylic to create room. This custom frame is made from […]
Simple and effective frame design for multimedia art
Look at the colors in this multimedia piece from Japan! We used a white wash wood frame and thin silver second mat to pull on the metallic silver in the art and let the colors stand alone. Sometimes it is just best and most effective to tone the frame design down and you will get a […]

Japanese woodblock triptych in cork frame
For this colorful Japanese woodblock triptych we used a grey cork frame to play on the texture in the art. We liked using a clean but thick 8-ply mat with a wide margin to create this window effect.
