Custom picture framing serving Los Altos
Los Altos has always had a deep appreciation for art and fine craftsmanship — and for over 50 years, Sumner Frames has been the go-to custom framing studio for residents and interior designers throughout the area. Our studio is just a short drive away at 628 Emerson Street in downtown Palo Alto, where every project is completed on-site by our expert framers.
Whether you're framing a piece picked up at the Los Altos Art Commission, a family photograph, a canvas from your travels, or a treasured heirloom, we bring the same museum-quality care and personalized attention to every job.
Our framing services for Los Altos clients
Custom Picture Framing We offer hundreds of frame styles, including our signature hand-painted and closed-corner frames. Every project begins with a one-on-one consultation where we help you choose the ideal combination of frame, mat, and glazing for your piece.
Museum-Quality Conservation Framing For artwork and documents that need to stand the test of time, we use archival, acid-free materials and UV-protective glazing to protect what matters most.
Canvas Stretching & Floater Frames We professionally stretch and mount canvases of all sizes, and offer a wide selection of floater frames that let your canvas breathe and shine.
Shadow Box Framing & Memorabilia From sports memorabilia to military medals to travel mementos, we craft custom shadow boxes that display your most meaningful objects with style and care.
Custom Framed Mirrors We design and build custom mirrors to your exact specifications — a specialty that most framing shops simply don't offer.
What our clients are saying
"Mahmut and his staff do top-notch work and I'm always thrilled with the results. I receive one-on-one consultation, a written cost breakdown, and the piece is ready when stated. Even the artist of one piece commented that the framing was the best he'd seen." — Yvette P., Emerald Hills, CA
"This shop is an absolute gem! Mahmut has an incredible design aesthetic and is thoughtful and collaborative in his design process. I've had him frame dozens of family photos and art from our travels — they've all turned out beautifully." — Melaine D., San Francisco, CA
