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.
A fossil that was displayed in an acrylic box. For the background, we carved out the background for a snug fit, and covered it in black linen.
This box is meant for table top display. We made a simple wood frame and painted a piece of wood to use as the base. The cover will sit down snug into the frame with the painted platform inside it.
This view shows the cover married to the base. The objects that were going into the boxes were hand carved clay heads that are about 50 years old.
