Architectural framing for fine art

We build museum-grade hardwood frames by hand in our Brooklyn workshop. Every commission is designed for a specific work, utilizing archival mounting and custom-milled profiles.

THE METHOD

Bespoke structural commissions

We reject mass-produced commercial mouldings. Instead, we select raw, sustainably harvested timber for its grain direction and structural stability, ensuring your frame complements the artwork perfectly.

CONSERVATION

Museum-grade preservation

Every frame is engineered to protect irreplaceable works for a century, balancing structural strength with archival safety.

Splined Corners

Archival Mounts

Museum Glass

Using cotton rag matboards and reversible mounting techniques, we ensure the artwork never contacts harmful acids or adhesives.

Optically water-white glass filters ninety-nine percent of damaging ultraviolet rays while eliminating distracting reflections.

We join corners with contrasting hardwood splines, creating a mechanical bond that prevents warping without metal fasteners.
