Established 44 years ago, the Buchanan & Kiguel name has become synonymous for quality and craftsmanship. We frame to museum standards to insure the longevity of your art and always take great care in your project through all aspects of the framing process.With a selection of more than 2,000 frame styles on display and one of the largest collections of period 22-karat gold molding anywhere, the perfect frame for your art is likely hanging on our walls. The designs and finishes of many of our frames can easily be custom tailored to meet your specifications. In the late sixties, Buchanan & Kiguel began the tedious task of not only rediscovering, but also reinventing the technique of French matting, a process where watercolor lines and washes were used to embellish matting. Today, we offer hundreds of hand-painted French mat designs, all of which can be changed to enhance your subject. Not only are they suitable for period framing, but also for all types of contemporary paper art.The goal of our fine art restoration department is to conserve and repair each subject with minimal intervention in a manner that will best preserve the art for future generations. Our on-site professional restorers can evaluate your painting and/or frame and make appropriate recommendations for proper treatment and care.Our services include:• French matting• Shadowbox and recessed framing• Restoration of paintings and frames• Conservation of paper art• Prints and framed picturesOur framing is truly something you have to see.
