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…

Fun, colorful frame for Winehouse portrait
We set this Amy Winehouse portrait in a playful, green frame (detail, below), matching and tying in to the use of green in the artwork, and to help the oranges and reds featured in the work really “pop.” Artwork by Liz Watson, Indie Doll Studio. …

Gold Filigree Frame, Shadow-box style

Bespoke Beats All
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.
Houston’s Art Framing Experts

Paper & Fabric Framing: Circular Wall Art
This woven-paper artwork (“circulo de papel”) is a show-stopper — but also poses design and practical challenges when framing for display. Evoking techniques from the Oaxacan people of ancient Mexico, the delicate weaving is partially see-through — so the mat upon which it is mounted…
More framing techniques for small artwork
We used a ‘gallery style’ picture frame to make this 7″x7″ piece of abstract art (center of frame) stand large. First, we “float” the actual piece of artwork up about 1/4″ inch uniformly off the surface. We then used a wide, tone-on-tone mat (meaning the…
Unique Framing for Small Painting
The dimension of the canvas in these images is only 6×6 inches — and 4 inches deep! In order to showcase the unique dimensions of this piece, we used a 3.5 inch deep floater frame presentation. The frame is “Spencer Float, Gold and Black” from Larson…
