Original Fine Art Framing
A proper frame design for original fine art incorporates a full knowledge of the elements of art and major periods of art history. Attention must be paid not only to the colors of the artwork, but also is details, textures and overall composition. A proper design will enhance the artwork and preserve it for future generations. This requires advanced knowledge in how to archivally frame various kinds of art techniques and materials. The designers at Framed LA have over 30 years of hands-on experience designing and framing for priceless pieces of art. We work with original oil paintings, serigraphs, lithographs, ceramics, vintage ad and movie posters, and much more.
There are many design periods – each with its own style, color and historical elements – that require an appropriate frame. What kind of art are you framing? Graffiti on a trash can lid would look awesome in raw welded steel; a French impressionist oil would look beautiful in 22k gold leaf. With over 3,000 frame mouldings to choose from, we’re positive we have the perfect frame for your original fine art.

Our skilled framers can help you choose one of our deep shadowbox frames or design a clear acrylic box for your treasured items; we can build hinged frames, shelves, and display cases.

Framed Custom Mirrors
Mirrors are the perfect addition to any decor. Whether it’s for a bathroom counter, over the buffet, or walk-in closet, custom mirrors bring light into dark spaces and reflect the beauty of their surroundings.

Creating a Custom Mirror with Framed LA ensures that you get the perfect frame that fits your space and matches your decor. We can supply any size mirror, either plain, beveled or antiqued. With over three thousand frame mouldings, we have the perfect frame for your decor. If you’re unsure, we also lend out the corner samples so you can look at them at home. Take a couple of pictures of your space and measure the maximum area for the mirror before you come in. Mirrors are heavy, so we’ll provide the correct hardware to hang them safely. Let us help you reflect your personal style with a Custom Mirror from Framed LA.

We all have one special standout piece in our collection we would love to display and enjoy. Custom Framing your favorite memorabilia ensures that your item is preserved, protected, and displayed in an attractive fashion. Many collectibles are three-dimensional which makes them difficult to throw in just any old frame. Our skilled framers can help you choose one of our deep shadowbox frames or design a clear acrylic box for your treasured items.

Conservation Framing preserves the life and value of artwork and valued possessions. We specialize in creating a framing presentation that protects your artwork from dust, dirt, insects, indoor pollution and that errant soccer ball. Although aesthetic considerations are vital to any piece of art, conservation is of utmost importance when dealing with a work of any monetary, historical, or personal value. Framed LA uses only the best quality frames and conservation materials to protect your framed project, from acid-free & 100% cotton rag mats, to UV-filtering & museum glass. To us, family heirlooms are priceless and are treated that way. We make sure everything we do is reversible and can be put back to its original state.
We run our shop and business to be as environmentally conscious as possible. Many of our mouldings and mats are PEFC and FSC certified. Some mouldings such as our bamboo and compressed sorghum stalk are cutting edge when it comes to the environment. Most of our suppliers are from Europe where environmental standards are extremely high. Locally we recycle all that we can from our shop and office. We even donate our scrap mats to local schools that are able to use them for art projects. Recycle, reuse, repurpose!
Let us come to you! Framed LA offers on-site design consultations. We can save you time and effort by visiting your home or office to learn about your needs, decor, and personal style. Additional charges may apply.

Glazing
Glazing or glass plays an important role in protecting your art. Ultraviolet rays, even indirect light, will fade most images over time and can discolor many objects. Our conservation glass & acrylic glazings filter over 98% of harmful UV rays. Framed LA is proud to offer Museum Glass by Tru Vue for the ultimate in reflection control & clarity.
Mats
Matboard acts as a visual design element as well as a protective buffer for your artwork. Matting is a colorful and elegant part of your frame design. All of our mats are acid-free to prevent harming your artwork, and we offer 100% cotton rag mats for museum-quality framing. We have many colors, textures, and materials to choose from – fabrics like linens, suedes, and raw silks, beautiful color tones, and even custom hand-wrapped mats.
