We frequently dry-mount artwork, a process that uses heat and pressure to apply the art to a lightweight backing board. This ensures that your art won’t warp over time. It works well on photos, posters, and any kind of artwork or document that isn’t an original or irreplaceable. We will be happy to help you discern if your art needs this treatment. We strongly recommend other mounting methods for items of value.

The term “acid free” designates mats and paper that are of a conservation quality. Mats and paper which are not designated as “acid free” contain acids which continue to build up over time causing discoloration. The acid also migrates to your art causing it to yellow and discolor. We have a large selection of acid free mats including fabric, suede, silk and cotton blended paper- all of which are safe for your art.

We offer digital restoration of old photographs, documents, and 2-D artwork. Often digital restoration can improve the appearance of damaged photos by addressing creases, spotting, color shifting, fading, and minor tears. The product of digital restoration is in fact a new copy of the original.
As for the restoration of paintings, textiles, and other valuable or historical works, we encourage you to find a well versed and knowledgeable A.I.C. affiliated conservator . We have a local contact for paper restorations in Tulsa.

Your custom framing job is one-of-a-kind and as such, there is no pre-established price. Custom framing has many variables each with its own range of price possibilities. The price usually includes the cost of frame, fillets, glazing (glass), mats, backing, mounting, and assembly. These components describe a majority of custom framing orders, but not all. Some jobs may require products and services not included in this list. To truly estimate the cost of your job, bring your art in and let us help you with some designs first.

Our expert staff is knowledgeable in repair work. However each repair job is unique, and there are many factors to consider-including the materials, finishes, and method of original assembly. Our expert framers will need to visually inspect its condition to determine if a repair is possible. As such we treat repairs on a case-by-case basis. In some cases a repair can take as much time and effort-if not more- than would be required to create a new frame.

In some cases we do deliver and hang large items, provided they were created in our store. Please ask Grant at the time of your order. We do not offer “general” hanging services, but can recommend someone.
