Our framing services for Atherton clients
Custom Picture Framing With hundreds of frame styles — including our signature hand-painted and closed-corner frames — we offer a fully personalized design experience. We work with you one-on-one to find the perfect frame, mat, and glazing for each piece.
Museum-Quality Conservation Framing Protecting valuable artwork and cherished pieces is our specialty. We use archival, acid-free materials and UV-protective glazing to ensure your collection is preserved for generations.
Canvas Stretching & Floater Frames We stretch and mount canvases of all sizes with precision, and offer a curated selection of floater frames that complement the natural edges of your work.
Shadow Box Framing & Memorabilia From family heirlooms to travel treasures to sports memorabilia, we design custom shadow boxes that are as much a work of art as what's inside them.
Custom Framed Mirrors A specialty that sets us apart — we design and build custom mirrors to your exact specifications, sized and styled to complement any room in your home.
