Poster Framing In And From San Francisco!

Framing this poster from the Ween show in Oakland was so much fun! Thanks to GIGART in San Francisco for creating this amazing Uncut 34×24 inch WEEN silkscreen print!

Custom Frames We Just Finished This Week

Our custom frame shops here in San Francisco are busy! This week we finished building frames for a beautiful, delicate glass sculpture that was completely broken to pieces in shipping.

A Custom Frame For Contemporary Art

French design mood with this 1800’s textile pattern!

This French textile pattern is from the late 1800’s! It’s actually five panels that we hinged together and mounted as one large piece. We found the perfect linen to float it on, almost looks like it’s taken straight from the pattern! And the ornate frame completes the feel for an antique French design. We love […]

Dark frames for ( mostly ) black and white art

This week we framed this amazing Fruit Stripes Zebra in Joshua Tree and these original storyboard drawings from the Lucifer comic! Black and white art can be framed in many different frame colors but if you want to keep it dark but don’t want a satin finish black frame, what are some options? Why not […]

Wings of Desire

This Wings of Desire print deserved a special frame design!  We used an ornate frame with a wing-like texture and a gold fillet to pick up on the colors and feel of this rad art film by Wim Wenders set in the divided Berlin.
