Ornate Frames, Contemporary Style
We needed a heavy, dramatic frame for a heavy, dramatic charcoal piece and we thought this dark ornate contemporary style custom frame is perfect! Zoom in on that moon! We may not have made it onto this Castro map, but Market St did, so almost! Check out all the landmarks, you’re bound to recognize some. […]
Black and White Art doesn’t always need a black or white frame
Often times when people bring in a black and white piece, be it a photo or painting, they think a black or white frame. But it can be interesting to use a metallic to pull on the mid tones in the piece so there’s contrast to both the lightest and darkest points. It’s amazing the […]

And we […]

10 years ago!
This is a photo we took 10 years ago in our neighborhood here in San Francisco on 15th St and Dolores St. San Francisco used to have tons of empty spaces that were turned into Christmas Tree lots for the Holidays. Now, this lot, like so many others is built up with a huge condo […]
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 […]
