Our Knowledge

We promise a lot. Those promises have to be backed up by knowledge, skill and creativity in Interior Design, Art, Textiles, Photography, Custom Framing, Conservation, and Restoration. Our staff consists of certified and experienced framers as well as design and art consultants with superior capabilities and training in performing to the highest standards - both for design and conservation.

We rely on training, educational programs, guidance and standards from industry sources including the PPFA, FACTS, The Library of Congress, Needlework and Textile Guilds, the Color Marketing Group, and many other independent experts and educators in the various fields. Do we know how to do everything? Certainly not, but we have the resources which will enable us to accomplish the task.

What is Conservation Framing? It is the appropriate housing to display the intrinsic beauty and interest of an object, while prolonging its life by securing the object in a mechanically and chemically stable environment. It minimizes the problems caused by deterioration of the components of the object itself and other problems introduced by environmental factors such as air pollution, heat, light and humidity. When applied to framing, the term Conservation is synonymous with Preservation, Archival, or Museum Framing.

We have always excelled in our quality and craftsmanship. We take special measures to create custom frames with enduring style of superior quality. There are techniques, methods and materials that we utilize in our framing that you won't find used by ordinary frame shops. What you don't see inside the framing package is just as important as what you see on the outside. What you appreciate on the outside requires more knowledge and craftsmanship than you might imagine. You can be assured we don't shortcuts anywhere. Remember our quality and craftsmanship are guaranteed.
