Custom Framing of art and objects is our primary service. Our customers bring personal items [photographs, diplomas, needlework, prints, original art, newspaper clippings, certificates, etc.] to Bradley’s for framing. We will build a frame, cut mats, attach the object, glaze it and fit ready to hang.
 
Design/Layout is provided by 4 experienced Certified Picture Framers.  We first ask if you, the customer, have a design and/or colors in mind.  If yes, we always try to work with your ideas.  If not, we might ask a series of questions about location, size, environment, and color.  When multiple objects are being framed, we may want to consider several designs and ask that you come back to approve your choice.  Sometimes, we may make special samples for your project.
 
Matting choices include acid-free paper mats and fabrics including suede, silk, linen, moiré and velvet. Liners (fabrics on a wood moulding) may be chosen in many sizes and shapes.  We might suggest fabric mats be used on top of glass or covered to protect the surface.
 
Glazing options include:  regular glass, non-glare glass, conservation (filters ultra violet) clear glass, non-glare conservation glass, clear non-reflecting glass with and without UV filter, Museum Glass (clear optically coated with UV filtering), Water-white glass (low lead content/no green edges), clear acrylic, non-glare acrylic, UV filtering acrylic in both clear and non-glare, and abrasion resistant acrylic in both clear and non-glare.  Optima acrylic is clear reflection free with a UV filter.

Your final choice will depend upon the art, location, design and budget.

Conservation/Preservation is our primary responsibility.  We expect our work to be so well designed and constructed that it will last indefinitely.  We choose our materials with that in mind.  Properly chosen hangers are included with every completed frame.  Bradley’s Art & Frame unconditionally guarantees our quality and your satisfaction.
 
Needlework/Textiles is an area of special expertise. A textile conservator handles antique and/or damaged pieces. We specialize in proper mounting techniques for needlepoint, embroidery, textile art, clothing and other fabric-based items.
 
Restoration of oil paintings, pastels, watercolors and other paper-borne art is available. Some original photographs can be restored, many require professional digital restoration. In most cases, damaged or old frames can be repaired and re-finished. Quotes are always given before a job is begun.

Photo Frames, such as the classic Italian designs by Roma Moulding are featured at Bradley’s.  We also carry a large selection from Epoch Arts which features the beautifully polished wood backs and patented easel.  Many styles are available in the hard-to-find 4x5 and 5x5 sizes.  Reproductions of 19th century ovals, octagons and boilermakers along with convex glass are offered for sale.  Bradley’s also maintains an inventory of gold, silver, walnut, mahogany and black circles and ovals from 4” up to over 16 x 20’s.

Note:  Every photo frame received at Bradley’s is checked for quality and the glass is replaced with Conservation Clear glazing to protect your precious photographs.

Easels, Plate Hangers and Picture Lights are among some of the incidental accessory items also available.  Special items can always be custom ordered.

Art for sale in the gallery may include limited edition prints, original graphics, giclee’, photography, and original works.  Please check our most recent newsletters for current showings.
