Canvas & Fine Art Framing
Fine artwork deserves framing that showcases its beauty while providing appropriate protection. Buchanan and Kiguel specializes in canvas and fine art framing using conservation-grade materials that safeguard against deterioration. Our framers evaluate each artwork's specific characteristics—including medium, texture, and colors—to suggest framing options that harmonize with rather than distract from the art itself.
Custom Mirrors
Enhance your living spaces with custom-framed mirrors built to your specifications. Our mirror service offers numerous frame styles, finishes, and sizes to create distinctive pieces that complement your interior design. Each mirror features professional beveling and secure mounting, ensuring both visual appeal and lasting durability.
Diplomas Certificates & Documents
Academic and professional achievements deserve proper display and protection. We frame diplomas, certificates, and important documents using acid-free matting and UV-protective glazing to prevent yellowing and fading. Our team understands standard dimensions and presentation requirements for various institutions, ensuring your credentials appear professional and dignified.
Memorabilia
Showcase your cherished memorabilia with custom framing designed for three-dimensional objects. From sports jerseys to military medals and family heirlooms, our shadow box framing protects while creating attractive displays. We use quality mounting techniques that secure items without causing damage, preserving your memorabilia for years to come.
Museum & Conservation Framing
For valuable artwork and irreplaceable documents, our museum and conservation framing provides superior protection. We use archival-quality materials and techniques that meet museum preservation standards. This includes specialized mounting methods, UV-filtering glass or acrylic, and sealed frame packages that guard against humidity, pollutants, and light damage.
Photographs & Prints
Family photographs and art prints shine with proper framing that boosts their visual impact while protecting them. Our framers select complementary matting and molding combinations that highlight your images appropriately. We provide multiple glazing options, including non-glare and museum glass, for optimal viewing under various lighting conditions.
Textiles & Jerseys
Fabric items need specialized handling to prevent damage while on display. Our textile framing includes proper stretching and mounting of jerseys, quilts, and tapestries using methods that protect the fibers. Custom-sized shadow boxes accommodate unique dimensions of textiles while providing adequate depth and support.
