You name it, we frame it.
A working framing atelier on East 40th Street. Wood and metal mouldings cut by hand, archival mats, UV glazing — and most work finished while you wait.
Framing is a craft of
millimetres and patience.
A mat cut a hair off square will bother you every time you walk past it. A frame joined properly will outlive the person who commissioned it.
We have spent four decades on the same Midtown block doing one thing: cutting, joining and finishing frames by hand. Most jobs leave the same day. None of them leave until the mitres close cleanly.
Our Story

From a single photograph to a full office installation, cut and finished on site.

Deep shadow boxes with archival mounting that holds a garment without adhesive damage.

Four steps, most of them
finished within the hour
Consult
Bring the piece in. We look at it together and talk through mouldings, mats and glazing.
Design
Samples held against the actual work — the only reliable way to judge a mat and a moulding.
Craft
Cut, joined, matted and fitted on site. No sending it out, no waiting on a warehouse.
Collect
Most work is ready the same day. Larger commissions get a firm date, not an estimate.

CorporateWhat people say
Reasons people keep coming back
Done in an hour
The equipment is here and so are we. Most jobs are cut, joined and fitted while you wait.
Archival by default
Acid-free mats and UV glazing offered on anything that matters, not sold as an upgrade.
Everything on site
Cutting, joining, mounting and glass all happen in this workshop — nothing is sent out.
Four decades here
Same trade, same neighbourhood, since the early eighties. Long enough to have opinions.
Tell us what you
need framed
Send the dimensions and what the piece is. We will come back with options and a price — usually the same working day.
