Custom Framing

We offer a full line of custom frames and services, with thousands of frame options, hundreds of mat choices, linen liners, fabric and textured mats and fillets.

We are all about conservation, and at the same time we’re not about selling you things you don’t need.

Some get intimidated by all the choices. Don’t worry: we’re here to put forth our best design, and help you through all the options. We work with all budgets to create something truly unique and precious.

If you’ve never had something custom framed before, you don’t know what you’re missing. But don’t take our word for it. Scroll down and take a look at what we’ve created.

Local Art, Prints, Maps

We have a variety of framed art and prints in our shop, and maintain excellent relationships with many Lowell-based and Merrimack Valley artists.

Canvas stretching

We stretch canvases of all sizes, onto strainers bars up to 2″ deep. Oils, acrylics, light Asian canvases, giclees: we’ve seen and stretched them all.

Drymounting

We can drymount your photos, prints, paintings, needlework and more to just about anything. We never use sprays and we offer a wide selection of materials. We can even mount paintings and inkjet (gicleé) prints. Our materials use a lower heat than older methods and can even be reversible in many cases. We have several drymounting products that are even acid-free and conservation grade.

Printing

With our 44″ fine art printer we print on high-quality inkjet (gicleé) media such as matte, luster, glossy, semi-matte, smooth “hot press” fine art paper, watercolor-type “cold press” paper, exhibition quality fiber paper, metallic paper and canvas. We can also print on your own favorite media. Just give us a call.
