Custom Frames 

The design, construction, and gold leaf gilding of custom frames to complement specific works of art comprise the majority of work performed by Gold Leaf Designs & Gallery and artisan, Alan Shuptrine.

Early in his career as a craftsman, Alan faced a challenging order to design and craft frames for four Henri Matisse original prints.  He has since served collectors, galleries, and museums throughout the United States.  Frames by Gold Leaf Designs & Gallery now adorn paintings by such prominent artists as Edward Hopper, Andrew Wyeth, Hubert Shuptrine, Elliott Daingerfield, Stephen Scott Young, Alice Ravenel Huger Smith, and others.


The opportunity to work in collaboration with artists and art collectors is an important part of the service offered at Gold Leaf Designs & Gallery.  Alan states, "Since we build frames from scratch, and since every frame is one-of-a-kind, the possibilities are endless, and no order is beyond our reach."

Besides creating unique artwork frames, Gold Leaf Designs & Gallery can also design and build virtually any form of decorative wall hanging.  Specializing in the unique, Gold Leaf Designs & Gallery is able to construct and install custom mirrors that will grace any style interior.
