Custom Picture Framing in a Frame Shop

A female picture framer stands beside an intricately designed decorative frame in her specialized shop interior. The background highlights decorative trim moldings and custom framing equipment used to protect and display artwork.

Discovering the Art of Picture Framing

Picture framers craft custom borders to showcase paintings, mirrors, and historic photographs while protecting them from moisture and dust. Decorative frames often feature ornate corner moldings inspired by historical architectural styles. Framers must calculate exact mitered corner angles so that wood moldings fit together seamlessly without visible gaps.

Authentic Colors of Decorative Frames and Shops

  • Ornate picture frame: antique gold leaf, classic dark walnut, or polished silver
  • Wooden molding strips: cherry wood, natural oak, or stained black finish
  • Shop counter: light ash wood or dark mahogany workbench top
  • Framer work shirt: classic navy, maroon, or dark green tone
Questions and answers

Picture Framing Questions and Answers

Why do decorative picture frames have angled corners?
Frames use forty-five degree miter cuts at each corner so two wood pieces meet to form a clean ninety degree right angle around square or rectangular artwork.
What materials are used to make ornate frame patterns?
Traditional ornate frames use carved hardwood coated with plaster gesso and molded resin shapes, which are then covered with thin gold leaf foil or metallic paint.
What is the purpose of glass inside a picture frame?
Clear glass or protective acrylic shields artwork from airborne dust, fingerprints, physical damage, and ultraviolet light rays that cause colors to fade over time.
