Framing is our only
business — and has been
for over four decades.

Custom framing and fine art is our only business, and has been since 1983 under the same family ownership. Every piece that crosses the bench is treated like a quiet act of stewardship: chosen mouldings, conservation-grade materials, and finishing touches sized to the room it will live in.

“We help families, designers, and collectors honor what matters, and make sure it looks the part for decades.”
— Jessica & KristineThe Framesmith

What we make
by hand.

Six disciplines, one workshop. From a single archival framing to a 200-piece corporate install, every commission is designed in conversation and crafted on-site.

A concierge consultation,
start to finish.

No appointment is required, but for designers, complex commissions, or working directly with Jessica or Kristine, calling ahead makes the experience easier.

01

Bring the piece

Walk in, or schedule. The team receives your work, listens carefully, and asks the right questions about the room it is headed to.

Stop in or call
02

Design with an expert

Mouldings, mats, and glazing options come to the table. You see real samples against your piece, never a flat screen guess.

Crafted on-site

Every cut, join, and mount happens in the North Dallas workshop, not shipped off to a faceless plant.
