UPGRADE AN OLD FRAME

Is there art in your collection that have frames needing an upgrade? Older pieces may have components that are not archival. We can replace the glass, mats and backing and put them together better than new.

In this example we replaced the tired frame on this JEH MacDonald with a classic “Group Frame”.
