We frame memorabilia!  These mementoes from a baby shower make a great keepsake when framed together.  We artfully arranged the montage for our client and added hot pink inner mats for a pop of color.

This famous original poster by Howard Chandler Christy looks "ship-shape" in this navy blue frame.  The frame's soft finish and gold trim highlight the details in the Christy Girl's hair and uniform.  The poster was cleaned and backed on linen before framing and for additional preservation purposes we used OP-3 plexiglas-- a high quality, UV protective glazing that won't break.

original prints framing, museum quality framing

These original lithographs by Marc Chagall were published in 1948 as part of the Arabian Nights portfolio.  They are framed to match with black scooped frames, silk mats and museum glass.  While the colors in the lithographs are vibrant, the paper is somewhat darkened by time and the acidic materials found in vintage framing. We downplayed the discoloration with the use of beige silk mats.

This beautiful large original lithograph is framed in an midnight blue frame with warm-toned gold details.  The crispness of the white rag mat with blue inner mat works with the iridescent frame to create a soft and clean look.  For the glazing material, We used OP3-99, a high-quality plexiglas that reduces glare and protects the art from harmful UV rays.

Buck tradition and frame your diploma with style.  There is no need to use standard white mats and black frames.  This recent Harvard grad chose a red silk mat, a cherry-toned wood frame with a black liner and matching filet.

This vibrant woven silk textile is framed with a green silk mat, brown wood frame and a matching fillet.  For glazing, we used museum glass.  Museum glass has a special optical coating which makes it virtually invisible.  It also protects artwork from damaging UV rays.
