That post-restoration radiance. Swipe to see before.

We repaired all cracks and missing pieces and regilded this frame in 22k gold. We love that we get to revive elegant pieces like this.

“I want this, but with that”
— You’ve got it!

All of our handmade frames are made to order so we can combine and tweak almost any of our samples! In this example, we wanted the finish of one but in the size and profile of the other.

Stop by our showroom to see all our handmade samples and design something completely unique to you and your piece!

“I made this!”

While every project is a team effort, there is a particular excitement garnered from the first frame completed with a new skill.

This frame was made with six different composition molds and required over 70 feet of ornaments to be attached by hand one foot at a time.

We call Em the Compo Queen now.
