No piece too big, no project too small! Whether it’s kid’s art or fine art we give everything that walks in our door the same love and attention to detail. We stretched this nearly 11’x5’ painting on keyed stretcher bars. Fine art framing in San Francisco at two locations! Come see our huge selection of […]
We Love the Art we get to Frame!
This past week we framed so much interesting art! From prints to paintings, whimsical and bold and colorful art- and we love it all. We floated some prints to get more shadow play, we matted with an added fillet for the classic and ornate look and we kept it bold and sharp with a deep […]
Weekend Movement with Original Keith Haring Art Framed
We are big Keith Haring fans here at Underglass Custom Picture Framing! Thanks to our client who collects the drawings we are happy to share them with you. We used a washy purple frame to play on the multiple purple tones and movement in these original Keith Haring paintings!
This week’s framing projects at Underglass
We had some very special custom framing projects this past week: From a special gold leafed mat for a California Rodeo poster; we built a shadowbox for some items that were collected from the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles; we played with depth and no color at all because we wanted the full focus to […]

Simple elegance in art and frame
We love the sense of calm that this photo brings. We kept with simple elegance using a thin whitewash frame straight to the edge; no distractions. Underglass Custom Picture Framing is one of San Francisco’s oldest framing business. We started out on Townsend in the 80s, moved to Church Street in the early 90s, opened […]
