Most people know us for our museum quality framing standards and commitment to fine materials and craftsmanship. Certain San Diego design professionals also know us as contract picture framers who provide superior product and value at the wholesale level for designers who seek real value (i.e a good price AND high quality) in large volume purchases of art and picture framing for commercial environments.
One large contract job driving our busy autumn and December seasons is shipping this week, over five hundred customized, individual giclee prints on paper and canvas framed mostly in pretty light maple moulding and off white rag mats and linen.

We were able to order all the moulding on this job custom made because of the footage involved, saving our client a lot of money and enabling us to dictate the terms we prefer as local artisans: all 11,000 feet of maple, poplar and walnut mouldings used on this job were milled from sustainably grown and harvested lumber in North America by North American craftsman.
The last of this order was completed in our busy end of the year. I’m including a shot here of our December schedule board to give an idea of how much volume The Frame Maker handles, especially when you consider that the large wholesale custom framing order shown above doesn’t even appear on this calendar!!:
