At Master Framers, we have the ability to mill our own mouldings and create our own very custom frames to order. While we have over 300 different profile knives (shapes) to choose from, we often design new knives to use, based on drawings our customers bring to us, or from historical frames we have seen. This variety is what allows us to create special frames for your art. Our custom frames are built and finished one at a time, measured to fit precisely and to allow the proper depth for canvases or other special depth requirements. In addition, our staff can hand carve a frame or use a decorative corner or pattern from the collection of over 2000 composition molds that we own. We can also make our own molds by casting patterns from antique frames or by hand carving a design that we want to duplicate.
Our finish possibilities cover a wide spectrum as well, from natural woods, stains, paints, metal leaf and karat golds in white, yellow and hues in between. Each frame is toned to work with your artwork. Attention to detail is as important to us as it is to you.
Detail of a corner. We used rivets to simulate the look of a hand hewn metal skin.This frame was 12k gold with a red rub burnished.
This shows the detail work along the bottom rail of one of the frames. We carved out the wood and placed a chrome detail into the space.
A side view of the top emblem. We carved and built a support into which we placed the Ferrari emblem.

One of the custom frames we made for a customer who has a passion for all things Ferrari. He supplied us with the attachments to the frames. Our job was to make them look good. We also did some detail work on the corners adding rivets to make it look like metal.
Another one of the custom frames made for the Ferrari enthusiast.
This frame was finished in 22k gold and the profile is the same shape, but reversed in its orientation.
