Frame Restoration

Frame Restora­tion: The repair and restora­tion of antique and con­tem­po­rary frames is a very spe­cial­ized skill that is an art form in itself.  Every frame has a sto­ry to tell. We have res­cued many beau­ti­ful frames that were on their way to the trash. A frame restora­tion may include repair­ing a bro­ken cor­ner or orna­ment or a com­plete frame rebuild­ing includ­ing rejoin­ing, cast­ing, carv­ing, sand­ing, gild­ing and fin­ish­ing. We do as much or as lit­tle as it will take to restore a frame that is per­fect for you.
