Since 1968, Creative Framing has been caring for the treasures of Charlottesville's finest homes. With over 2000 frame choices, and hundreds of matting options, Creative Framing is your source for fine framing and innovative designs.
Our designers have created special surroundings for fine paintings, antique samplers, modern collages, and treasured heirlooms. Gold Leaf Moulded Corner frames, and French and Fabric Mats are among our popular offerings. We pioneered Double Glass framing in the area back in 1987. Originally used for two sided objects like stock certificates and historic documents, the look of a glass mat has become a very popular option to make artwork look as if it is floating on the wall.
And speaking of floating: floater frames for paintings on stretchers or panels are one of our specialties. Our choices range from quiet hand-rubbed American Walnut and Cherry to deep Gold Leaf Molded Corner options suited to the finest European paintings.
We have experience handling Textiles from the hey-day of Versailles, Shadowboxes for Horse Trophies, and hand carved Ivory Jester Sticks used in Medieval Courts. We hang Afghans, Quilts and Tapestries. We frame new and antique Oils, Engravings, Watercolors and Acrylics. We stretch Needlepoint, Cross Stitch and Crewel Work. We shadowbox Coins, Weapons, Flags, Athletic Jerseys and Memories.
We have framed a Rifle carried by John Wayne, and a Guitar carried by Dave Matthews.
We do commercial work for Decorators, Businesses and area Hospitals.
We work with Conservators, Restorers, Movers, and Shippers to care for your treasures both at home and on the road.
And the amazing part about all this, is that we are no more expensive than the beginner frame shops who have seen very few challenges. Time and time again, customers will come to us for an estimate and return for us to do the work, having compared the choices and prices available in the region.
We love what we do, and we think it shows: in the quality of the work, the elegance of design, and the joy we take in creating the product and working with our customers. We invite you to come by and revel in our selection of possibilities.
