CONSULTATION

Let’s Start With Your Piece

You’ll sit down with one of our framers to talk through your project—what it is, where it’s going, and what you want it to feel like. Whether it’s a meaningful heirloom or something you just fell in love with, we take the time to understand the story behind it before anything else.

DESIGN OPTIONS

Finding the Right Look

From frame styles and matting to glass and spacing, we’ll walk you through options that complement your piece—not compete with it. We’ll guide you toward a design that feels balanced, intentional, and true to your space.

MEASUREMENTS

Sized With Care

Every detail is carefully measured to ensure the proper proportions and fit. It’s a small step that makes a big difference in how your finished piece looks and feels.

MATTING + MOUNTING

Thoughtful Foundations

Your artwork is carefully mounted and matted using conservation-minded materials that protect and support it over time. Everything is handled with precision so it sits exactly as it should.

CUSTOM FRAME CUTTING

Built Just for Your Piece

Each frame is cut to size in-house to ensure a precise, seamless fit. It’s where craftsmanship really comes into play—clean lines, exact corners, and no shortcuts.

Brought Together by Hand
