Since 1985, Alan Shuptrine has led a team of skilled artisans in offering the world’s finest handcrafted art frames, furniture, and decorative works of art. Specializing in the time-honored and Old World and traditional methods of gilding, particularly water gilding, our craftsmen create one-of-a-kind frames and treasures to complement important works of art, and interiors. Each frame we create starts with a rough, conceptual design sketch; then, after a more detailed drawing is produced, we begin carving the mouldings which will eventually enhance and complement the art. Our main concern has always been to marry the perfect frame with its painting; after all, the word “frame” in Old English means “to complete” or “to further”.
