Welcome to Grey Owl Framing

Grey Owl Framing Specializes in placing Memories, Art, Prints and Photography in Unique Mats and Frames.

Grey Owl Framing is different from most framers because:

I work only by appointment. This means I can meet at 7:00 am or up to 10:00 pm any day of the week. And I can come to your place of business or your home.

I take only cash and checks as payment. Credit card processing fees result in more expensive framing.

I do very unique mat designs that are not available from most other frame shops. Examples include hand-wrapped fabric mats; French mats, acrylic watercolor and pastel panels, ink lines, and others.

I don't use computerized mat board cutters, or production joiners. I cut my mats by hand, and I assemble them by hand, the old fashion way.

Antique Card [circa 1900]
With 22 K Gold Panel and Bevel

This antique Church & Co. card circa 1900 has a thin 22k gold line and a 22k gold bevel. The leafing is done by hand at the Grey Owl Framing studio.

This mat and card is part of the Mabel Ludwig collection. This collection is being matted with cotton rag solid mats in various French and other decorative mat designs. The collection is placed in boxes to limit light exposure. Contact Grey Owl Framing for more information about French Matting and decorative mat designs.

Frame your Vacation Memories

A wonderful memory of the English vacation.

This 3-3/4" x 5-5/8" post card is beautifully framed in a narrow gold frame and a gold fillet, in a European style of framing.

The outside mat only 7" x 9-1/8". It is so small that it easily rests on a table top easel.

Conservation framing methods and materials are used, but most are unseen. These include Japanese hinges for attaching the artwork to the back mat, linen tape for booking the mats, and a metallic tape in the rabbet.

An upgraded Tyvek dust cover is moisture repellent and added on the back.
