Use us as the framing part of your team.

Bring us the artwork, plans, finish samples or an established specification. We’ll work through the framing, record the selections and carry the details through production.

How we work together

Bring us what you have. We’ll work through the framing with you.

Some designers arrive with a specific frame in mind; others bring artwork, room photos, fabrics or plans and work through options with us.

At the design table, we narrow the choices and work through the details. Once approved, we record the specification for production.

Samples

Take the samples with you when you need them.

We check out moulding corners and material samples when the client needs to see them in the room.

Frame corners

Show the real scale and finish

A corner sample makes profile, sheen, grain, leaf and color easier to judge in the room.

Material references

Compare the details in context

Mat, fabric and liner samples can travel with the frame sample when color or texture matters.

Custom finishes

Approve a finish before full production

For custom finishes, we work from a physical reference before full production.

Approved design

Once it is approved, we record it

Moulding, mat or liner, glazing, finish and construction details stay with the project.

From approval to production

Once the design is approved, we keep the details straight.

The same approach works for one piece, a room, a whole house or work arriving in phases.

One piece or many

We handle one-off pieces and larger groups without forcing every artwork into the same frame.

Repeat specifications

Approved specifications are retained for later pieces.

Phased projects

For phased projects, the approved information stays with the job as new pieces arrive.

Groups do not have to match

Related woods, finishes or proportions can tie a collection together without matching every frame.

Private client work stays private

We do not use client names, project details or photography without permission.

Project-site help

When the room matters, we meet at the project.

For large mirrors, oversized work or difficult walls, we can review scale, access and installation requirements on site. Off-site consultations are scheduled separately and have a fee.

  1. 01

    Look at the room

    We review the artwork, wall, surrounding finishes and placement.

  2. 02

    Measure and plan

    We measure finished dimensions, wall construction and access before fabrication.

  3. 03

    Build for the actual site

    We specify the frame, mirror, hardware and construction from the actual site conditions.

  4. 04

    Coordinate delivery and installation

    When delivery or installation needs a specialist crew, we coordinate an outside company we use regularly or work with your preferred team.

  5. 05

    Coordinate crating and shipping

    When the project needs crating or specialized shipping, we coordinate the outside company and provide the finished dimensions and handling information.

Custom work

If the project needs something unusual, ask us.

When standard construction is not enough, we look at custom fabrication, unusual materials and installation requirements together.

Custom-cut mirrors

We cut mirrors to custom shapes, including curved edges, and coordinate the frame, bevel, finished size and installation.

Closed-corner and custom-finish frames

Gilding, carved work, painted finishes and patina provide options beyond standard moulding.

Oversized and specialty framing

We plan large works around support, glazing, transport, access and installation from the beginning.

Textiles, objects and difficult pieces

Scarves, rugs, memorabilia and dimensional objects get mounting designed for the actual piece.

Starting a project

Bring what you have.

Artwork, photos, plans, finish samples, dimensions or an established specification are enough to start.

Artwork and dimensions

Bring the artwork when practical, or send dimensions and clear photographs.

Room and finish references

Plans, room photos, fabric, paint, millwork and hardware can help us understand the context.

What is already decided

Tell us what is already decided—frame direction, finish, budget or other requirements.

Timing and phases

Tell us the target date and whether the work arrives all at once or in phases.

Site, delivery and installation

Flag scale, access, wall conditions, crating, shipping or installation before fabrication.

Who is approving

Give us the designated project contact so communication stays simple.

Work with Image & Frame

You take care of your client. We’ll take care of the framing.

Use us for the framing—from design and samples through fabrication and logistics.
