Framing art prints for a “clean” look
We loved designing and framing these two prints here in our San Francisco Frame shops. The artists both chose to print on beautiful art paper with an interesting edge that we definitely wanted to show. So we hinged the papers to a mat that lifted the art up and kept the rest of the frame […]
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 […]
A hand carved Art Deco frame!
We used a beautiful hand carved art deco frame and a bold double mat design for this print of the famous @chezpanisse cookbook cover. We love how the wood grain in the frame adds so much detail to the overall frame design. Proud of this custom framing project right here in our San Francisco Picture […]

Looks like they were also the first to use Gorilla Glue in their hair, but we couldn’t find any concrete evidence about that. This welded frame […]
Happy Friday!

Have a look at all the different pieces and the frames we designed: This goopy, pink, lacquer frame stacked around this hammered metal frame is the perfect balance of soft and hard for these original Andy Warhol postcards! These postcards were used to promote a […]
Contemporary Art Framing
We loved the photo of the horse and the canvas print of the forest. Both deserved a minimal design contemporary frame. The photograph got a simple white frame with a glazing that protects from dust and scratches and potential UV damages. The canvas was set in an ebony walnut floater frame as dark as the […]

Simple Black Satin Frame, Museum Quality Framing with Museum Glass, framed in the Bay Area at Underglass Custom Picture Framing. Framing for San Francisco since 1982.
