Museum Quality

Custom Frames

Handmade — Finished Corner

Custom Carved — Hand Finished

With an atelier of woodworkers, gilders, artisans and fine framers, we create museum-quality custom picture frames for clients nationwide from our studio in Chicago.

We are one of the few remaining framers that still build, carve, lacquer, and gild historically inspired picture frames using traditional, centuries-old techniques.

This is a sampling from the vast selection of samples on view in our showroom that can each be further customized. From Old Master, Victorian, to Mid-Century or contemporary artwork from today, we can design and fabricate the right perfect frame for your masterpiece.

In addition to our vast selection of custom picture frame profiles, we provide a full suite of archival fine art framing services.

Samples available may vary in our showroom at the time of your appointment. 

If there is a specific profile you are interested in, please let us know. 

We have thousands of frame profiles available for view in our showroom.

 

Custom designed and made to order.

These are just a sampling of the custom frame options that are available.

Museum Quality Framing of Guitare et partition sur guéridon, by Pablo Picasso

Museum Quality Framing of Guitare et partition sur guéridon, by Pablo Picasso

Charles Prendergast was a renowned frame-maker at the turn of the century. This heirloom albumen print arrived at our studio for framing. We selected this 3/4″ width, Charles Prendergast-inspired frame. The two-tone 22k and 12k white gold leaf with inscribed flower blossoms at each corner provided visual interest without overwhelming the portrait. With the details of the floral design and the implementation of two different karats of gold leaf, this frame honors the vision of Prendergast by “bringing out the fine points of a good picture”.
