Colbert Custom Framing
We are experts in designing beautiful, creative custom framing for photos, artwork, needlework, documents, diplomas, jerseys,
|
| sports memorabilia, objects, and heirlooms. It's been said we can frame anything that is not alive! |
|
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.
