Custom picture frames, made to measure

An exact frame for any size

Ready-made frames come in standard sizes only, so they dictate the solution: trim the picture, live with uneven borders, or give up. Custom framing reverses that: we cut the molding, the glass and the mat to the size of your piece, without touching it.

You can bring the piece itself (better) or just the measurements. The size that matters is the image itself, height and width, without any white margin you plan to hide under a mat. And if in doubt, we will measure together at the studio.

Made for your piece, not the nearest size

A custom frame is not just a frame in an unusual size. You choose the molding width, the shade, the glass and the mat according to the picture and the wall it will hang on, matching the finish to the piece instead of settling for a ready-made frame in a nearby size.

Each element is chosen separately: warm wood or clean aluminum, thin or wide; quality glass for protection; and a mat in the color and cut you prefer. That is exactly why it is worth coming to the studio rather than ordering from a catalog: we hold molding samples against the picture, try a few mat shades beside it, and in two minutes you see what works.

Common sizes, and everything in between

Most pictures that reach us fall around a few familiar sizes, and they are a useful reference. 30×40 cm is a compact frame for a single photo on a shelf or in a gallery wall. 40×50 and 40×60 cm are the sizes that start to read on a wall from across the room. 50×70 cm is the size most commercial posters come in. 60×90 and 70×100 cm are pictures that hang on their own and fill a wall. A4 (21×29.7 cm) is the certificate size and A3 (29.7×42 cm) the poster and print size.

The important point: these sizes are only a starting point. If your picture is 44×63 cm, that is what we make, without trimming it and without rounding to the nearest size. This is exactly where a custom frame pays off: non-standard posters, panoramic photos, paintings commissioned to fit a wall and large maps almost never have a suitable ready-made frame.

Objects that are not flat

The same method works for objects with depth: a signed jersey, medals or a record go into a shadow box built to the size and depth of the object itself.
