What goes into custom framing?
Half of the framing process is selecting the right frame, which includes a number of design
components:
A good frame highlights the piece of artwork. At Le Chateau Gallery we have one of the largest selections of framing materials in Michigan. We carry a very large number of frame samples, including natural woods, several lines of rustic distressed frames, rare reds, metal frames, contemporary, and traditional styles. We have many gold and silver frames, and popular black ones. We have tiny frames, unusual frames, and shadow boxed frames.
A good frame takes into account the colors, patterns, and textures of the artwork. The area in which the artwork will be displayed must be considered. The fillets (smaller moldings used around the inside area of the frame) should integrate the larger frame with the matting. The right mat needs to be chosen, paper or fabric, color, and size. We carry paper and fabric mats in every shade of the color wheel.
