Custom Wood Frames

Solid domestic hardwoods (maple, ash, cherry, oak, walnut) milled in-house, with clean contemporary profiles or classic mouldings. Precision joinery (splines, dovetails, Hoffmann keys) engineered for longevity.

  • Natural oil, wax, lacquer, or painted finishes
  • Whitewash and custom stains (subtle, even, consistent)
  • Rounded, ripple, or custom profiles; integrated spacers and liners

Archival & Museum Quality

Every layer that touches the artwork is conservation-grade and fully reversible. Our priority is preservation without compromising the presentation.

  • 100% cotton rag mats and acid-free backing
  • UV-filtering glazing: Museum Glass or UV acrylic
  • Reversible hinging (Japanese tissue + wheat paste) or BEVA where appropriate
  • Float or shadow mounts for depth and air space

Metal & Mixed-Material Frames

Precision-fabricated aluminum frames in brushed, anodized, or powder-coated finishes. Hybrid designs pair metal strength with warm wood reveals or spacers for a refined gallery look.

Oversized & Specialty Projects

Expert handling for large-scale or delicate works: scrolls, textiles, fragile papers, mixed media. Custom strainers, reinforced backings, and safe transport solutions up to exhibition scale.

Canvas Floaters & Stretching

Hardwood or aluminum floaters built to exact clearances. Professional canvas stretching on kiln-dried bars, with aluminum-reinforced systems for stability on larger pieces.

Design Consultations

Appointment-only at our 4th-floor studio in Long Island City. Bring the artwork; we’ll review scale, proportion, materials, and conservation to arrive at a solution that elevates the piece.
