Picture framing

How we work

Every job starts with three questions: what the piece is, where it will hang, and what the room looks like. A molding that looks great on an oil painting can be completely wrong for a black-and-white photo, and a frame that suits a modern living room will look out of place in a hallway with dark wood furniture.

In practice it looks like this: we lay the piece on the table, hold molding samples against it one after another, and see immediately what happens. The same goes for the mat: we try a few shades next to the picture instead of choosing from a catalog. It takes a few minutes and saves the frustration of a frame that looks "almost right".

By the end you know exactly what you ordered and what it costs, before any work begins.

What we frame

Photos and prints of any size, oil paintings and watercolors, posters and art prints, certificates and diplomas, children's artwork, maps and historic documents, complex puzzles and canvases.

Beyond that we frame a lot of objects with depth that will not go into a flat frame: signed soccer jerseys, medals and awards, gold records, military medallions and collectibles. These go into a shadow box: a frame with depth where the object is fixed to a backing behind glass. The gallery on this page shows real work of all these kinds.

Printing and framing together

If you have no print, only a file on your phone, there is no need to print somewhere else and bring it to us. We print and frame in the same job: you arrive with a file and leave with a framed picture ready to hang.

Beyond the convenience, the advantage is that the print size is matched to the frame rather than the other way round: you choose the final size that suits the wall, and we print to it.

Molding, glass and mat

These three decisions set how the frame looks and what it costs. The molding is the frame itself: warm, traditional wood or clean, modern aluminum; thin (it lets the picture lead) or wide (it adds presence). The glass protects the piece from dust and scratches.

The mat (passe-partout) is a thick board that separates the picture from the frame. It is optional but almost always an upgrade: it gives the picture breathing room, keeps the paper from touching the glass (which matters for preservation), and lets a small piece sit in a larger frame.

Turnaround and area

Most framing jobs are ready within two business days, with an express option depending on how busy the studio is that day. The studio is in Rishon LeZion, and customers also come from Tel Aviv, Holon, Bat Yam, Rehovot and Nes Ziona. You come in, we choose the frame together, and you pick it up when it is ready.
