We’ve taken some of our most framing projects and broken them down for you!
Matchbox Project
-
-Raised top mat (linen) and artwork recessed behind
-Gold painted bevel to match frame
-Simple, gold scoop frame
-Conservation clear glass
-
This raised top mat technique is typically used for shedding artwork like dried flowers or pastels. However, this style still looks great with many other pieces!
Preservation Press Project
-
-Gold scooped frame
-Canvas floated on linen matboard
-Inner sides lined with the same linen matboard
-No glass
-
This customer wanted to “beef up” this tiny canvas to better display it in her powder room. This is a great way to add size to smaller pieces without having to use a larger frame!
Mini Canvas Project
-
-Peachy mat to keep the vintage look, adding a gold painted bevel to compliment frame
-Ornate, decorative frame in a complimentary color to the piece
-Conservation clear glass
-
We love reviving older pieces while still keep a classic look. This project is a great example of how playing with complimentary colors (i.e. the reds and oranges alongside the teal frame) can bring life to muted, vintage artwork.
Vintage Painting, New Frame
-
-Raised top mat (white)
-Floated over gold mat.
(Note: Artwork is floated closer to the top mat rather than recessed behind)
-Bright, textured frame
-Conservation clear glass
-
We went back and forth with this piece. We tried several matboard combinations, however, the pink and blues
A Pop of Color
-
-Raised top mat, bevel painted in an accent color
-Recessed metallic mat behind matchboxes
-Black and gold frame (with enough depth to raise the top mat)
-Conservation clear glass
-
This is a great way to emphasize small pieces or objects. Also, don’t be afraid to mix metals!
