Conservation Quality Glass
ABOUT
EST. 2009
A keeping place for
things worth remembering.
Framed On Main began as a one-room framing shop on the corner of Main Avenue. Two decades in, it has quietly become so much more — a museum of Ashtabula, where photographs, lake-port ephemera, handbills and family papers are mended, matted, and held in trust.
We work slowly, and in great detail from start to finish. A frame from us is a piece of joinery. All keepsakes and items are handled with immense care, in hopes your newly framed treasures last for generations. No project is too big, or too small.

SERVICES
What we do, quietly.
Hand-joined hardwood and closed-corner moldings, conservation glass, acid-free mats. Estimates given on the bench, in person.
We preserve sports jerseys and memorabilia, military uniforms and medals, music memorabilia, and fabric art. Additionally, with artists on staff, we can design and create shadow boxes for most three-dimensional items.
Laminating is the process of bonding a thin, clear plastic film onto the surface of a poster, photo, or print. It protects the art from moisture, fading, dust, and handling.
For X-Stitching & Needle Point; We stretch canvas art, canvas prints, and fabric art.
DESIGN STUDIO
Try a frame on,
before you walk in.
We keep every Larson-Juhl sample on the wall in the showroom. If you would like to play with mats and moldings from your kitchen table first, their Design Studio lives below.
Visualize matting, frame profiles, and even the wall color where your piece will hang. When you find a combination you love, save the configuration and bring the codes to us — we'll build it on the bench in the exact materials you chose.

REVIEWS
In good company
"I have had a number of pieces framed at other shops across the country and can honestly say that Chris and his shop are the best of the best. His attention to detail and his eye for what "fits" is incredible. Most impressive was that some small items were fixed by him while the pieces were being framed without charge. A true professional."
