Very Fine.
The frame improves.
The painting remains your painting.
A frame of reference.
Five settings. One original. Compare a finish and mat pairing before we turn a single gear.
ART
STAYS.
Rough / raw profile. Wide, stone-toned edge. Unbleached mat. Offcuts are kept out of the conversation.
Coarse / workshop profile. Ridged timber tone. Oat mat. Deliberate texture, not unfinished business.
1:1 / balanced profile. Double-line walnut tone. Warm ivory mat. A different frame of mind, same dimensions.
Fine / slim profile. Narrow olive edge. Soft white mat. Less frame. More painting.
Very Fine / brass profile. Double-line brass tone. Pale linen mat. Additional refinement, closely supervised.
The selector changes the frame and mat together. The key turns once. Intake is the small booth on the left, output is the small booth on the right, and nothing else in the building moves on its own. Your artwork is not a test material.
Size up the possibilities.
Enter the artwork’s width and height, without a frame. We confirm the estimate at the bench.
Each side: 4–48 inches. No artwork upload needed.
Prices: $35 fitting + frame perimeter at $1.10/in (Rough), $1.35/in (Coarse), $1.65/in (1:1), $2.10/in (Fine) or $2.75/in (Very Fine). Mat included; glazing, tax and delivery excluded.
We refine the surround.
Never the subject.
A good frame should change how you see a painting. Not who painted it, not what it depicts, and not what it remembers about the intake booth.
Originals stay on the clean bench.- Material consultation
- Compare profiles, mat tones and proportions. We start with a small material sample, not your one-of-a-kind piece.
- Custom frame assembly
- Only approved frame stock enters the intake. Finished materials are inspected at output, then cut and assembled around your work.
- Reframing & mat replacement
- Keep the artwork. Change the border. Existing paintings, prints and photographs stay out of the refinement chamber.
