Colbert Custom Framing

Some of the most interesting things we have framed include a New Guinea warrior's bow and arrows, a snake skin, a shark jaw, astronaut patches

that have circled the moon, a 2500-year old miniature vase, and original Picassos just to name a few. We have done framing for the Pentagon and

for the Ronald Reagan Museum in Dixon, IL. Our work has hung in the Smithsonian as well as in thousands of homes and businesses in the Chicago

area and even across the country and abroad.

We offer dry mounting (a heat process that adheres the piece permanently to foam board to prevent wrinkling or buckling), conservation mounting,

needlework stretching, canvas gallery wrapping, and many other imaginative, artistic solutions for mounting interesting and unusual pieces.

We offer a wide selection of mat colors and textures, and our warehouse stores thousands of feet of mouldings in every imaginable style.

Our pieces are framed with conservation glass, which provides protection from fading and disintegration due to exposure to light. We also offer

Museum Glass, a high-quality conservation glass with amaizing clarity.

Colbert Custom Art Printing

Your own photos become art when printed on canvas, art paper, quality photo paper or poster paper with our high-quality archival art printer.

Your vacation pictures become oil paintings on canvas, your child's sports pictures become pop art posters, and the picture of your garden

becomes a lovely water color.

Are you an artist even an amateur?  Save yourself hours of labor by making high-quality prints of your work--even in different sizes!  Perfect

for personalized gifts. Simply scan your piece and send us the file (your original pieces only; we cannot print copyrighted works) and voila! You

have extra copies for family and friends or to sell.

If a picture paints a thousand words, why not incorporate a lifetime of memories into a mosaic? With 100 or more of your pictures, we can

create a one-and-only, personalized portrait of your choice, composed of all the little pictures. You have to see it to believe it!

Our photo restoration is the answer to your damaged photos. We make them like new, printed with archival inks to last a lifetime. Need to

add or remove a person or object in a favorite photo? We'd be happy to make it just the way you want it!
