Creative Framing carries Carat Gold Leaf frames. These beautiful frames are hand carved especially to fit your picture, and then finished by hand to the tone of gold you choose.

Made by the same companies that make frames for the Metropolitan Museum, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and other famous galleries, they are world class frames meant to hold some of the world's best art.

There are times, when a piece of privately owned art is so wonderful that it deserves a gold leaf frame to show it off properly. Sometimes, it is the room that determines the need for a gold leaf frame. In a setting of fine antique frames and furniture, a gold leaf frame often fits more comfortably than a machine finished frame.

Only you can know if a gold leaf frame is the perfect treatment for your particular situation. When it is, Creative Framing is the place to come.

AMERICA'S PREMIER GOLD LEAF FRAME-MAKERS

• AMCI
• APF HOLDINGS
• NEW LOOK PICTURE FRAMES
• ART-O-RAMA

  AMCI: AMCI has been producing the finest quality, handcrafted, custom-made carat gold frames for over twenty years. All of their frames are hand finished to your specifications using the best materials available. Frames begin with select American hardwoods which are cut to size, then carved, joined and finished by hand. Their gesso is mixed with English whiting. The colored bole is mixed with French clay and rabbit skin glue. Polished semi-precious quartz agate stones are used to burnish the gold that has been beaten into almost transparent leaf in Italy and Germany. The techniques AMCI uses to carve and gild have remained virtually unchanged for over 500 years.
  
  

  APF Holdings: APF is recognized as one of the nation's pre-eminent manufacturers of faithfully recreated period frames and mouldings. Their historic product range is the most extensive available and represents the history of the development of frames from the fifteenth century to the present. Selections include Spanish, Italian, English, Dutch, French and American periods. Their diversity and stylistic authenticity are executed to museum-quality standards. Using only the finest hardwoods and finishing materials, including 22 carat gold leaf, their skilled craftsmen combine time-honored traditions and state-of-the-art methodology to recreate the ageless beauty of the original antique frame entirely by hand.
  
  

  New Look Picture Frames: This innovative frame-maker was established in 1975. For more than a quarter of a century they have specialized in round and oriental corner frames leafed with 22K gold of the highest quality. New Look Picture Frames manufactures over 200 different styles of moulding which are custom cut and hand finished the traditional way, and yet many have a contemporary flair. Their moulding styles range from a traditional scraffito and red scratch Italian style to a contemporary black lacquer and gold floater.

  Art-O-Rama: Art-O-Rama stocks a beautiful line of gold leaf length moulding. Frames made from this moulding are generally cheaper than custom made gold leaf frames.
