Custom Orders

I have personally curated the frame and mat combinations offered on this site. I have samples of the frames and mats and have selected the combinations against the art under controlled lighting. I consider each piece separately and determine my recommended offerings based on the colors in the art and the style of the frame.

Here you will find details and comparisons of the frame and mats I have curated and are available for custom orders. Contact me to get started on your custom order.

Frames

All of these frames are made of real wood. Most are available in 3/4”, 1 1/4”, and 2” widths. In addition to the options below, several painted frames are also available including a traditional smooth black gallery frame.

  • Natural

    Natural is a light colored, smooth grained wood veneer reminiscent of pine in color. It is the lightest of all my offerings.

  • Fruitwood

    Fruitwood is a popular choice and is sometimes out of stock. Fruitwood is a medium dark, smooth grained wood veneer with a brown hue with subtle dark brown undertones.

  • Mahogany

    Mahogany is a dark, smooth grained wood veneer with a reddish brown hue and deep red undertones. This option is more red and lighter in hue than Walnut and darker than Fruitwood. The photographs provided by the supplier appears to me to be more brown with little or no red when compared with the actual sample I have.

  • Walnut

    Walnut is a dark, smooth grained wood veneer with a deep brown hue. This option is darker than Fruitwood and Walnut and is the darkest brown offering.

  • Charcoal

    Charcoal is a dark, smooth grained wood veneer with a cool dark gray, almost black hue. This option has no earth tone hues.

Mats

All mats are conservation grade, 100% virgin alpha-cellulose 2 ply mats with white core. Acid-free and lignin-free, these are both fade resistant, FSC®-certified, and meet all conservation quality standards set by the Fine Art Trade Guild. Mats are digitally cut for ultimate precision.

Glazing

Glazing is the term used to refer to having your art behind glass. The purpose of the glazing is to provide protection to your prints. It is recommended for giclee prints since it protects against scuffing and direct contact. I currently do not offer actual glass as the glazing but instead provide a safer and common framer’s alternative in the form of clear acrylic (plexiglass). Acrylic provides an advantage to glass by being lighter and less likely to break during shipping.

There are several glazing options to choose from:

  • Premium Clear - Framing grade clear acrylic is shatter resistant and lightweight

  • Reflection Control - Tru Vue Reflection Control® Acrylic scatters light to diminish unwanted glare with a matte finish

  • Conservation Clear - Tru Vue Conservation Clear® Acrylic is a framing industry staple, blocking up to 99% of UV rays for ultimate protection

  • Conservation Reflection Control - Tru Vue Conservation Reflection Control® Acrylic scatters and diffuses light to reduce unwanted glare. Blocks up to 99% of UV rays.
