CUSTOM PICTURE FRAMING FOR BOSTON, CAMBRIDGE, AND GREATER BOSTON

picture framing at its finest

Boston Frame Works provides handcrafted custom picture framing for clients throughout Boston, Cambridge, Acton and Greater Boston. From our Cambridge and Acton locations, we design and build custom frames for original artwork, photographs, prints, canvases, textiles, memorabilia, mirrors, oversized pieces and much more.

Every framing project is designed around the piece itself, how it will be displayed, and how it should be preserved. We combine experienced design with careful craftsmanship, conservation-quality materials, acid-free matting and protective glazing to create custom framing that looks right and is made to last.

PICTURE FRAMES,

DESIGNED TO LAST

As custom picture framers, we design each project individually to enhance and protect our clients cherished items. Though most of our projects are fine art either on paper or canvas, we also frame objects, textiles, heirlooms, and anything else our clients want to display and protect.

Each piece is unique and each design is carefully chosen based on style, color, shape, size, etc. The materials involved in the design could include frame, matboard, fabric, backing materials, support materials, and glazing. Glazing can be either U.V. protective glass or plexiglass and we offer only the best glazing products available.

Though we service galleries, collectors, artists, designers, and museums our primary clientele are individual art lovers and anyone who wants the best custom framing available.

FRAMED USING ONLY HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS

At Boston Frame Works, we pride ourselves on using only the highest quality materials in creating our custom picture frames. We understand that your artwork and cherished items deserve nothing less than the best, so we go the extra mile to ensure that our frames provide maximum protection and beauty. Our selection of molding materials is carefully chosen to meet the highest industry standards, with each frame handcrafted by skilled artisans.

We take pride in our use of materials such as acid-free mats and UV-protective glass, both of which are essential elements in ensuring the longevity and preservation of your artwork. Acid-free mats are designed to prevent the gradual deterioration of the artwork by neutralizing any acidity that may be present in the paper or other materials that make up the piece. On the other hand, UV-protective glass is designed to block harmful ultraviolet rays that can cause fading or discoloration over time.

By using these top-quality materials, we help to ensure that your artwork will be protected and preserved for generations to come.
