Framing

Profiles that respect the work

A frame sets the outer edge of attention. We choose face width, depth, and finish so the artwork stays primary.

Frame families

Slim metal — crisp lines for photography and minimal prints.
Flat wood — even faces that echo modern interiors without heavy ornament.
Stepped profiles — shallow ridges that catch side light on textured paper.
Deep gallery — deeper rabbets when glazing sits away from delicate surfaces.

Small works can carry wider mouldings when the mat is generous. Large pieces often need quieter profiles so the image stays open.

Stained timber, painted faces, and brushed metal each shift how color reads beside the mat. We compare samples under the light you describe.

The inner lip should meet the mat cleanly — no visible gap at the bevel. We adjust overlap so corners stay square and the stack feels intentional.
