YOUR WALLS TELL A STORY ABOUT WHAT YOU LOVE

LET US HELP YOU FRAME IT

We are Acanthus & Reed, artisans immersed in the art of framing since the golden age of pay phones.

The rules of scale and proportion laid down by classical architects guide us on every frame we design. We offer a curated selection of factory-made mouldings and we reproduce historical frames. We use archival materials to ensure that your artwork is carefully protected and preserved.

We believe in wood, metal and lucite coming together to strike the perfect balance and in creating enduring frames of extreme clarity and beauty at every price point. We take pride in treating your image as if it were destined for a museum.

Welcome to Acanthus & Reed, truly a different kind of frame store.

  • “Adrian has a deep knowledge of current archival materials and beautiful recommendations for frame choices. He has an expert knowledge of frames for any era in the last 200 years yet is more than willing to accommodate any choice. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”

    GREG DEFELICE, Nashville, TN

  • “As a gallery manager, framing quality matters and this shop is simply the best. Adrian’s craftsmanship is consistently exceptional and his eye for detail is unmatched. He is reliable, professional, and a true partner. I wouldn’t consider sending our framing anywhere else.”

    CARLIE LINDEBERG, Flying Cloud Fine Art Posters, Easton, MD

  • “Adrian really listened to what I wanted, and then he made suggestions. Of course, he was right about everything, and the results were so much better than I had imagined. I trust both his artistic vision and his craftsmanship implicitly.”

    BARBARA WINARD, New Castle, DE
