What do the mall framing shops charge?

Purchasing this listing along with your photograph purchase will result in you 12" by 18 " photograph being framed with our Studio matte black moulding and white cotton-rag matting.

Custom Framing includes:

-We mount your photograph on acid-free archival mounting board

-Mat board is hand-cut to match the dimensions of your photograph from a high quality, acid-free, white, cotton-rag mat board. Exposure on mat is 3" to 3.5", making the overall size of the piece about 19" by 23"

-We cut a frame from Neilsen brand studio, matte black moulding

-Clear glass glazing is cut and fitted for your frame

-The piece is assembled, hanging hardware is attached  and the full archival record for the photograph is attached to the back of the frame.

We take great pride in the work we produce at our Portland, Oregon frame shop and are available to answer any questions via email or over the phone at 1-800-291-3320.

We feel that there are several reasons to choose us to frame your purchase:

-We are less expensive than your local frame shop (see the quote on the left).

-The standard size for photographs has changed a number of times over the last 150 years and many historical photographs will not fit into ready-made frames from places like Wal-Mart and Target (plus, who wants to do business with them we you can use us?).

-Our work is top-notch and we absolutely want to make you a repeat customer.

-We are responsive to any requests for the framing of your piece and encourage you to contact us directly at 1-800-291-3320.

Are other mat colors or frame mouldings available?

Yes, we are a full-service frame shop and anything you could get at your local frame shop is available through us. We understand the eBay concept of competing on price and, in order to simultaneuosly make no compromises on quality, we have limited what we offer through our eBay store. That way we can buy a few select mouldings in volume and offer you a spectacular price on custom framing. If you want something different please call or email us and we will show you our full catalogue.
