Custom and Period Framing

Shepherd Gallery Services has an extensive collection of more than 2,000 European and American period
frames, with a particular focus on those appropriate for the paintings and drawings of the 19th century.
We specialize in meticulous frame restoration, refinishing, and alteration.

We also offer our own line of quality frames and moldings of all periods and styles, with a broad range
of custom and handcrafted finishes. Shepherd Gallery Services can produce exact copies of rare frames.
We work closely with artists, architects, and designers to create and produce unique original frames.

Clients may choose from a variety of archival mats and mounts including custom-tinted French, rag,
and fabric mats of silk and linen. Shepherd Gallery Services can also replicate a client's mat or sample.

All framing and fitting conforms to museum standards, employing the latest conservation practices
and technologies. We offer a full rance of glazing materials, which both protect and enhance the art.
Shepherd Gallery Services specializes in intricate and complicated fittings and presentations, always mindful
of balancing the aesthetic concerns of our clients with the conservation needs of the art.
