PRODUCTS & SERVICES

Chelsea Frames believes that every piece of artwork that passes in and out of its doors is precious to its owner and should be treated with respect.

Chelsea Frames carries all well-known lines such as Roma, Nurre Caxton and Nielsen Metal, and we are proud to be a Larson Juhl partner (as seen in Architectural Digest, Condé Nast House and Home and other design magazines). We also collaborate with many local, national, and international artisans-for hand crafted frames. Our suppliers are eco-conscious and purchase their wood from countries who re-forest. We carry Tru Vue glass, and Cyro acrylics. These products include many specialty items such as museum (anti-reflective and 99% UV protected) glass and plexi and Ultra Clear (super-white with UV protection).

With more than 5000 corner samples in the shop, we also carry catalogues and can purchase any molding offered in the U.S. market.

Our studio is known for its Gallery line of frames. Made of specially milled hardwoods, these reflect current and enduring trends in framing. Most woods are native to North America and maple, wenge, rosewood, cherry, ash, oak and walnut. We also carry Honduras mahogany, basswood, birdseye maple and purple heart, to name a few. These are specially milled for our studio. Employing 'Old World' techniques, the frames are hand-finished with natural dyes, inks and then waxes.

Acid-free backing, acid-free 'rag' museum matboard, and UV glazing are standard materials used. Because of our high volume and storage capacity, Chelsea Frames is able to offer these higher end materials at a reasonable cost. In a survey conducted by Decor magazine, our prices fell at or below the national average for a standard 16"x20" framing project. This puts us at a very competitive edge for Manhattan. We believe in taking the time to explain to our clients the benefits of using these materials to preserve and protect their artwork.
