"In a world where almost everything we buy is machine-made and mass-produced, there are few areas of life which afford us the pleasure of commissioning something made by hand. This luxury is still available in choosing a frame for a picture."
Piers and Caroline Feetham, The Art of Framing, NY 1997
Although machinery is, of course, used in producing frames, much of the process is still done by hand, so there is discretion to incorporate variations and details by choice. Arriving at the best result takes time, patience, and careful thought, but the end product, a made-to-order picture frame, will be unique and should afford you pleasure for many years to come.
If you think about it, we usually keep our artwork---and certainly our photographs and other items of sentimental value---our whole lives, even though our draperies, furnishings, carpeting or other surroundings may change. That's why at FrameWorks we believe in preserving these items while visibly enhancing their presentation.. We create designs you'll want to live with for a long time, and use materials that will provide a "home" for your art which is safe and long-lasting as well as beautiful.
