Glaser Frames is a leading manufacturer – wholesaler of custom, closed corner picture frames.  Whether you are a plein air painter, portrait artist or still life artist, Glaser Frames is your one stop source for highest quality gilded, closed corner picture frames. 

We also feature finishes where a red, orange, blue, plum, yellow or other color is coated with a black finish, then the black is rubbed through exposing the base color.  An antiqued gold or silver interior edge is added.   

If you paint in oils, acrylic, water colors, pastels mixmedia or if you are a photographer, Glaser Frames is your source for unique frames that will enhance your artwork.

Our motto, “They look a hundred years old,” was uttered several years ago by an artist. We specialize in our own unique, antique look. A large number of profiles are available. We can even combine 2 or more profiles to create more frame styles. We call this the "Cap and Liner System." Call us for suggestions. We manufacture frames to artists exacting needs.

Plein air frames are a specialty. We manufacture many profiles and finishes that are uniquely suited to plein air paintings. We also offer scoop profiles that are often used with plein air artwork.

Portrait artists will especially like Glaser Frames. Our ornamented, carved and hand extruded corners enhance portraits making them more desirable. In fact ornamentation applied to the length of mouldings is also available. For example, by adding profile 702 around a 123 , 663, 124 or 123 then adding ornaments from our ornament list gives a very rich look at a reasonable price. Other frame combinations that go well with portraits are: 711Lg with ornaments 649 along the length and ornament 559 in the corners or 711sm with carved corner 464 and beading. A 1 inch, 1.5 inch or 2 inch buildup can be added to increase the depth of the frame to accommodate thicker canvases. The combinations of frames is almost limitless; we are available by phone to give you additional ideas.

We can ship your frame and stretcher bar with all the fittings to your client so you can install on site.

The new Floater Frames have been recently added  to meet the needs of our customers. Floater frames are available in all finishes. Floater frames are appropriate where only a very thin moulding is visible around the artwork with a small space. Our floater frames have numbers starting with 901.

Our newest addition is the diptych and triptych frame in any size you would like.

All frames come finished in one or more of our finishes. We leaf or gild frames in either silver or gold metal leaf. If Artists wish an antique silver or gold accent around the inside edge or bead, we can do that at no extra cost. We have pioneered the Black over Red finish in which the black top coat of paint is carefully and artistically rubbed to let the red or other color highlights show through. In addition to Black over Red, we offer Black over Orange, Black over Blue, Black over Green, Black over Plum and Black over Yellow finishes. We usually put a distressed gold or silver inside edge or bead on our Black over finishes at no extra cost. These Black over frames give the feeling that the frame is very old, withstanding many years of rubbing and cleaning.

If you like a profile made by one of the companies that sell length mouldings, we can obtain the moulding, cut it to your exact size requirements, join the corners seamlessly, and finish the frame in one of our unique finishes. We can also refinish frames you already have.

We have made frames as large as 8 ft. by 12 ft. and as small as 2 inches square. We do offer 5% discount on standard size frames.  See our standard sizes priced  in Calculating Your Cost. We can also mount your canvas on Gatorfoam.

We ship to all parts of the United States and Canada, and to all parts of the world. We use FedEx or other specialty shipping companies. If time is a problem we can drop ship frames to your gallery.

We repair damaged frames  purchased from Glaser Frames at no additional cost. You  pay the shipping charges.  At Glaser Frames artists needs come first.  Check out our Clients Page.
