Custom Matting and Unique Picture Frames

We offer a wide variety of unique picture frames.Everyday, we see our customers bring in their most precious possessions. The painting that reminds them of their anniversary trip to Paris. The aged photograph of their grandfather as a baby. Dad’s army memorabilia from WW II.

You, also, have memorable items, and you don’t just want an ordinary mat and a frame. You want a unique look for your very personal artifacts, and you can turn to us to make that vision happen with our huge selection of high quality picture frames and custom matting techniques.

That’s what makes our business creative and fun. Combinations of extra touches can add that “something special” to the design.

“Fillets

Intriguing mini-frames that are fitted to the inside of a mat, or just inside the frame, or both to give depth and definition to the art being showcased.

“Hand-wrapped fabric mats”

The warmth and richness of linen or silk sets off a beautiful watercolor or serigraph. Fabric is also a complementary background for an embroidered Chinese wedding collar or a christening dress or a Joe Montana jersey.

We also do a variety of unique custom touches you won't find anywhere else, as shown by the samples below.
