In picture framing amazing transformations do take place! With the right frame–one that both compliments the art and is beautiful in itself–a painting, or any work of art, can be elevated to a very special status. We are ever on a search for moulding to add to our extensive collection that will improve and enhance pieces of art. Of particular interest are the fine finishes available in “closed corner” frames. These frames are joined in a raw wood first, then underpainted with a tinted gesso, then gold leafed or painted with final colors, then burnished or rubbed through to the under colors for a complex finish that sets off the art and looks wonderful on its own. We look for these same qualities in standard stock mouldings as well so that we can offer a range of pricing to fit the budget.

There are literally thousands of incredible frames to choose from at Aarnun Gallery Fine Picture Framing and we have panels, liners, french mats, hand-wrapped fabric mats, hand-finished beveled fillets, archival mats, and everything else that could possibly be needed to achieve perfection in framing.
