Triple Mats for a Sophisticated Look
We set this nature illustration in a gilded, gold-leaf, Roma frame made in Italy. Three mat layers draw the eye to the center: a linen mat with gold fillet, a second linen mat, and hand-marbled paper mounted on a paper mat for the final layer. …
Shadowbox-Style, Top-Mounted Canvas
Fall holidays are often about feasting, so this silverware painting in fall colors seems timely. The work is top mounted, shadowbox style. Museum glass over the whole piece provides protection from UV rays and air pollutants while minimizing reflections and glare — and of course…

Look no further than this piece to appreciate the nature of the bespoke experience of custom picture framing. Clearly, this is not the sort of picture frame you can buy off a retail shelf! A unique and elaborate frame surrounding a broad, textured linen mat,…
Nature Scene in Wood Frame
We love this florid, bold-colored nature scene. A wood frame with a slim, gilded internal border (detail below) — one that enhances but does not compete with the artwork — is just right. With highly detailed and visually complicated art, sometimes less-is-more applies to framing.
