What We Frame

We can custom frame just about anything you bring us

Thirty-eight framing specialties, all handled in our own workshop — from a signed jersey to a 19th-century map to your grandmother's needlepoint.

The One-Hour Promise

Walk in with your art.
Walk out with it framed.

Most shops send your work out and quote you two weeks. Every cut, join, mat and fit happens on our premises — so simple jobs can be finished while you have coffee on 3rd Avenue. Open seven days, no appointment needed.

1

Bring It In

Any size, any condition. No appointment — we are open seven days a week.

2

We Design With You

Choose from 500+ mouldings and a full mat wall. We advise on conservation glass and archival mounting for anything irreplaceable.

3

Walk Out Framed

Simple pieces in about an hour. Larger commissions get a firm date — plus free pickup, delivery and installation.

The Craft

Materials chosen for the piece, not the price list

We will work within your budget — and tell you honestly when a cheaper option is the right call.

Wood & Metal Mouldings

Over 500 profiles in stock — modern, rustic, classic, gilt leaf and leather-wrapped, plus super-sized custom orders.

Conservation Matting

Acid-free rag and alpha-cellulose board, single or French multi-opening cuts, so the mat never burns the paper it protects.

UV & Museum Glass

From standard clear to anti-reflective museum glazing that blocks up to 99% of ultraviolet light. We explain what each grade actually does.

Archival Mounting

Reversible hinging and sink mounts for anything with value or history — nothing irreplaceable is ever permanently glued down.
