Here are examples of some projects
we've done for our clients
An antique carousel ride at the New York State Fair in Syracuse
is a Giclee print on archival watercolor paper.
It was framed in "Omni" from Studio Mouldings with
a matching silver fillet and double matted using black Bainbridge
rag board. The glazing is TruVue Conservation Clear UV.
A beautiful print by noted artist Bruce Helander
was matted in 6ply Bainbridge rag board and
framed in a Roma moulding with TruVue UV glazing
Our client came to us with a cocktail napkin that had the barely visible image
of a portrait on it. She was in New York having lunch with a
well known artist. He drew a portrait of her using a red
fine point marker on the napkin. Over the years the ink faded
and there wasn't much image left. She wanted to preserve what little was there
and came to us for help. While the dye in the ink had faded, the image
was still there, so we scanned the napkin and restored the image in
PhotoShop then printed it out on rag watercolor paper and framed it in a
diamond shape to the echo the position of the portrait on the napkin.
The mat is Bainbridge 100% white rag board, the glazing is
UV Conservation Clear by TruVue and frame is "Allegra" from Larson Juhl.
Our client, a dedicated Dead Head, asked us to frame his Jerry Garcia autographed canvas director's chair back.
We mounted it to Bainbridge acid free board and then used the same
black core board and raised the
mat 1/2 inch above the piece to give it added dimension.
The simple black frame is "Soho" fromLarson Juhl and the glazing is
UV Conservation Clear from TruVue.
This Duck print was part of a set of 3 that is a perfect example of making
an inexpensive piece of art look like it is worth much more.
We double matted the print using Bainbridge rag board
and topped it off with a 3rd mat that has natural cane laminated to it.
The rope style frame was from Complete Framers and the glazing was UV Acrylic. Acrylic glazing was used because the pieces
were to be shipped from Florida to Connecticut and we
wanted them to arrive unbroken.
Everything deserves a beautiful frame!
This enlarged print of a vintage postcard was double matted using
board with "cane" laminated to it over a compatible green second mat to give
that "beachy" effect for this housewarming gift. The moulding is "Prima" from
Larson Juhl, Bainbridge board and uv/non-glare acrylic glazing.
Five Asian 6" X 6" tiles were to be displayed together.
A multi-opening mat was cut and then a bamboo fillet matching the
Larson Juhl bamboo frame was placed around each tile, which
were mounted to masonite.
A silk matboard from Bainbridge and non-reflective
Museum Glass from TruVue finished the package.
A colorful photographic image shot in Las Vegas was only 6" x 9"
and needed to stand out. Fabric covered matboard from Bainbridge is
enhanced with an antique gold fillet and bamboo frame from
Larson Juhl then finished with
TruVue Conservation Clear UV glazing.
