“High Tech” Custom Framing

Custom matting and frames create an extraordinary display.High tech custom framing thrives at Rousseau’s Fine Art Framing. Serving Novato, Marin County, and the San Francisco Bay Area since 1996, our shop is evolving with the times. We use computerized mat cutting to expand our creativity and improve accuracy and consistency.

Special, exotic designs and shapes with multiple layer mats are now possible as well as those 20 to 30 mat windows for the duck stamp collection. The imagination is the only limitation.

Yet nothing replaces the skilled craftsmanship of inking a French line, wrapping a fabric liner, re-finishing a frame, or the design talent of our staff. The computer widens our capabilities and complements many of our skills resulting in that uniquely designed look – just for your art.

Here are some of our custom framing specialties:

Custom Framed Mirrors

Unique custom framed mirrors are a speciality. Our mirrors are beautifully crafted to complement your furniture and accessories and are custom made to just the size you need. You can choose from hundreds of frame styles ranging from elegantly simple to dramatically ornate.

Needlework stretching/blocking

We offer stretching / blocking and custom framing for needlepoint. You have just spent many hours creating a beautiful needlepoint to commemorate that special event in the family. Now is the time to seek experienced framers to properly “block” the needlepoint in preparation for matting and framing, and to ensure that your needle art lasts forever.

Plexiglass boxes

Custom Plexiglass box frames create a unique display. Sometimes, you may want to see all sides of your football jersey with those team signatures just about everywhere or, the 3 dimensional aspect of your antique doll. An acrylic plexiglass box, which allows visibility on 3 sides or 4, can provide that special look.

Oversized frames

We can make custom frames in any size.

Quantity framing

When you have that honorary certificate for 30 or 100 participants that needs matting and framing, we are organized to easily handle that kind of special project.
