Greetings!

We have literally hundreds of frame and mat samples for you to choose from.  With the help of our award winning design staff, the possibilities are unlimited!!! 

By mixing and matching them in different combinations, we can customize a design to accentuate the best attributes in any piece of art.  We will find the design balance between artwork and home decor.  You will be surprised how a proper framing can make your artwork stand out, and pull yet the other items in your home into a state of harmony.



The type of artwork determines how it will be framed.  A canvas is framed very differently than a print on paper.  You can get away with just stretching a canvas, but a frame will make your canvas look richer.  Canvases are not glazed nor do we place a mat on canvases, so right there is a cost savings to you.  Framing prints can be very exciting.  There are many options within the style you select.  Traditional, Modern, Eclectic......don't be afraid to mix and match!!! That's where our skilled design staff excel.  We will guide you through the process and show you the possibilities. 

Now while it is a good thing to think outside the box, there are limits.  Here is where you need a professional's "Touch".  The subject, era, style and color scheme of the items being framed should always be factored in. When each of them is carefully considered, the resulting frame design is more likely to be in sync with the art.

There is a time and a place for you to be daring and a time to be period correct.  Typically any historical art, documents and artifacts are framed to look authentic to their period and purpose. On the other hand, If a new piece of art was painted in an old world style, it may provide the perfect opportunity to update the look with a present day frame design. 

AFT is here to show you the possibilities.  And as always, we are respectful of your budget.
