New York City’s preferred destination for finished-corner frames
A Finished-corner frame is the ultimate framing option. It is adaptable to any project of any color pallet, and it welcomes a variety of options in terms of wood species, colors, finishes and textures. Our handcrafted picture frames are built with carefully selected raw materials and adapted for archival framing. Maple wood is our most popular wood. It is hardwood and neutral in appearance and tones. The frames below are examples of colors and tones that can be achieved with maple wood. It is also the perfect wood for solid colors achieved with more complex lacquer or enamel finishes.

Construct
Archival framing is to the combination of material and practices used to mount and frame an artwork. The main components of Archival framing are the frame, the mounting board and the glass.
The Mounting board
The mounting board is a combination of single materials which form together the support for the artwork. It may be composed of:
Strainer: a wooden frame that goes in the back of the frame. It is most commonly used with cap frames, shadow boxes, mirrors and oversize jobs. It ensures the longevity of the mounting board and ultimately the artwork itself. It also prevents the backing board from bending and reinforces the frame’s joinery.
Backing board: Common materials are acid free foamboard, coroplast (corrugated plastic)
Mat board: This is the substrate commonly used to affix an artwork. 100% acid free rag mat to float artwork or with a cut in window. Other substrates include linen mat, sintra, dibond, wood and acrylic.
