OUR CRAFT
Custom Framing.
Conservation-grade techniques for art, memorabilia, and the meaningful things you want to last.
Having been in business for over 15 years, we have acquired the knowledge to frame a variety of subjects. In that time, we have acquired a specialty niche in military framing.
CONSERVATION TECHNIQUES
Built to protect your art for many years to come.
Cindy's Custom Framing & Antique Art only employs conservation framing techniques. Conservation framing is designed to protect your art for many years to come. Some of the products that we use for conservation framing include UV-protected glass, acid-free mats, acid-free foam board, and adhesives and fasteners that will not damage your art.
Our military site, Framed Guidons, goes into a lot of detail about conservation framing.
Conservation Materials
- UV-protected glass to filter damaging light
- Acid-free mats and foam board for stable backing
- Archival adhesives chosen for long-term reversibility
- Fasteners and hinges that won't yellow or stain

We frame nautical charts and maps. Our research department can find antique and historic regional maps and Civil War maps and reproduce them on either paper or canvas. We also produce nautical charts for the United States. The nautical charts and prints produced on canvas can either be float framed or gallery wrapped.
If you desire custom framing, the canvas or paper prints can be mounted and then custom framed.
