Every frame we build is held to the same conservation standard, whether the work inside is a print or a family heirloom. Acid free backings, pH neutral adhesives and glazing rated to 99% UV protection are specified as standard. Mouldings come from makers across Europe, North America and Asia, selected for character and longevity rather than catalogue convenience. Custom framing done as those who take it seriously have always done it.

A well composed gallery wall transforms a room, and a badly composed one quietly undermines it. We treat every gallery wall as a design project in its own right, working through proportion, rhythm, colour and the relationships between individual pieces. Whether the brief is a tight symmetrical grid or a loose organic arrangement, we have the experience and the tools to execute it with confidence.

Dimensional objects typically need more specialized care. We have framed military regalia, signed jerseys, vintage memorabilia, textiles, ceramics, and we approach each one with the same conservation standards. Fabrics are dry cleaned and hand stitched with custom body inserts. Mounts are built to hold the piece without invasive adhesives or hardware wherever possible.

We install artwork in homes, galleries, commercial spaces and museums; our standard is the same across all four. Z-bars, cleats, locked security hardware, brass chains, and controlled display cases. Every frame leaves the studio with two fixed hanging points rather than wire, so it hangs level and stays that way. Clients who prefer to install themselves receive a custom wall template and a miniature level with each frame.

We stretch on kiln dried, pH neutral hardwood bars, gessoed so the canvas never touches raw wood and properly braced to keep the work square. For framing, we build floaters and traditional enclosures matched to the weight and depth of the stretched work. If you care about the canvas, we care about how it is stretched and how it is framed.

Interior designers are the professional community Mangoe Arts & Framing is built to serve. We work to project timelines, manage client expectations and deliver at a consistent standard across a range of briefs. A formal trade partner programme is in development. The best working relationships in this industry are built on trust and mutual respect, and if that sounds like the partnership you are looking for, we should talk.

Mirror framing deserves the same consideration as framing for artwork. Weight, reflection and wall anchoring all change the calculation, and our approach accounts for each. We frame antiqued and modern mirrors in mouldings matched to the piece and the room, with hanging hardware rated to the weight of the finished work. Mirrors carry their own presence in a room, and the frame should respect that rather than compete with it. we can perform our own antiquing on-site for mirrors up to 36 × 60 in size.

Diploma and certificate framing tends to be treated as routine, which is why so much of it looks routine. We frame diplomas and professional certificates with acid free mounts, UV filtering glazing and mouldings chosen to suit the document and the room it will hang in. University regalia, professional qualifications and career milestones all deserve the care we bring to fine art. Single diplomas or full graduation sets, each project is approached the same way.

Commercial and corporate framing projects need more than an invoice and a schedule. We work with offices, hotels, restaurants, medical practices and law firms across Nashville on art programmes that hold up to daily use and look correct years later. Volume pricing applies where the project justifies it, and installation is handled by the same team that builds the frames. For businesses that want their walls to reflect the work they do, this is how it should be handled.
