Frame Restoration

Antique picture frames frequently need cleaning, have broken pieces needing repaired, or might require conservation and restoration of original gilded surfaces. The Painters Place cleans, re-gilds, reinforces damaged corners and replaces broken sections of your cherished antique frame.

Eco Frames

We have a selection of beautiful hand-finished and environmentally-friendly frames.  Because The Painters Place is using recycled materials and American woods. We do not promote exotic imported hardwoods, rather, we offer a sustainable framing solution and pass on the savings to you!

Acrylic Frames

The Painters Place offers a diverse selection of acrylic custom frame options. Acrylic picture frames are durable, scratch-resistant and break-resistant. Lucite, a high-quality acrylic, is also safer to use in commercial environments than cheap plastic or glass.

Steel Frames

Steel frames are a unique alternative or complement to traditional picture frames. It is a versatile and eye catching way to display pictures, and is great for drawing attention. Each order is custom-welded, then hand-finished using grinding and patina solutions.

Carved Frames

A corner carve adds a subtle elegance to a frame. Skilled artisans at The Painters Place offer a wide variety of corner carves, including traditional and contemporary styles. Corner carves can be added to any frame provided the moulding allows it, and adds a sense of movement to a picture frame. 

 

A raised element can add a unique decorative ornament, and can be combined with carving to add beauty and texture to a picture frame. 

Family Photos

Arranging photos on a wall is a wonderful way to capture your family's  story but doing it so it doesn't feel cluttered can be a daunting task. Whatever frame you like, The Painters Place can make this challenging task a fun trip down memory lane and to create a family display you can be proud of.

 

We can also offer professional family photo installation, particularly useful for  spacing issues and hard-to-reach places.
