Fine CraftsmanshipIs Always in Style
We’ll help you choose a frame that works with the artwork, your space and your budget. Bring the piece in and we’ll design a great presentation for it.
Start here
What are you framing?
Start with the piece. These pages explain the choices that usually matter for each type of work.
If your piece does not fit one of these categories, that is fine. We frame unusual artwork and objects all the time.
Talk With Us About ItAt the design table
The artwork comes first.
We look at the artwork—its scale, color, medium, condition and where it will hang—before we start narrowing frames.
A few strong options are usually enough to find a direction. If they are not, the frame collection gives us plenty of room to keep looking.
Mounting, glazing, depth and support are worked out as part of the same design.
Proportion
How much frame and open space looks right around the piece?
Profile
Narrow, deep, flat, carved or rounded profiles create very different edges around the work.
Color & finish
Wood, metal, paint, gilding, mat color and texture are compared directly with the artwork.
Support & protection
Mounting, glazing, depth and conservation needs are part of the design.
Not every piece needs an elaborate frame.
The frame collection
A frame collection built over decades.
The collection grew over decades and expanded when we acquired Framer’s Workshop. It ranges from simple contemporary profiles and hardwoods to metal, leather, carved and gilded finished-corner frames.
Most projects only need a few good options. The depth of the collection matters when those first choices are not right.
Client reviews
Clients often mention the design process in their reviews.
Clients often mention clear advice, patience and the finished work. Those are the parts of the process we want to get right.

They took the time to help me design what the frames would look like with patience and great ideas.
This company can run with any project and beautifully executes the requests.
Conservation framing
Good framing should also protect the artwork.
Paper, canvas and textiles need different kinds of support. We choose the mounting, spacing and backing for the material and condition of the piece.
Glass and acrylic each have advantages. We choose glazing from the artwork, frame size, surface, lighting and breakage risk.
Learn About Conservation FramingSpecialty work
Some pieces need more than a standard frame.
Large canvases, textiles, antique posters and finished-corner frames can need different construction or handling. When treatment is needed, we bring in the right specialist. We can also coordinate crating, delivery and installation.
Closed-corner, carved and gilded frames
Our frame collection includes closed-corner, carved and gilded frames from specialist gilding houses and finished-corner makers, giving us a wide range of hand-finished options.

The mount matters as much as the frame
We spread a textile’s weight across the support instead of asking a few attachment points to carry it. Stitching, fabric-covered boards, depth and glazing clearance all depend on the textile itself.

Large and technically difficult work
As a canvas gets larger, the stretcher, bracing, frame depth, handling and installation all become more important. For large glazed pieces, we also have to account for the weight and safe handling of the glass or acrylic.

Printing and framing for working artists.
At North Scottsdale, Craft Giclée and Image & Frame work side by side for artwork capture, fine-art printing, show framing and repeat orders.
That makes it easier to proof the print, choose the frame and keep later orders consistent.
