Framing System and Hanging Apparatus
When we started doing some of our own framing for smaller exhibitions we encountered several challenges. First, we needed to have really robust and resilient frames. Second, we had to have frames that would allow us to change art in and out easily. Third, the frames needed to work both horizontally and vertically. And, fourth, we needed a hanging system that would allow us to hang our pieces flat against the wall.
When we surveyed the frame and gear market we couldn’t find any of these things. We then turned to local North Carolina artisans for the answers. Now we have solid cherry frames featuring “splined” joinery in the most often used museum sizes as well as a totally unique hanging system. The good news is that today we can offer you both our frames and our hanging system at very reasonable prices.
Our museum quality frames are made out of cherry hand rubbed with shellac and wax for a durable natural finish. Each closed corner frame is joined with two wooden splines for maximum strength. A wooden brace swiveling on the hardboard backing fits into slots on the inside of each frame. This unique fitting system allows for the glass and art work to be easily changed out without using staples or clamps.
