Understanding Framing Costs
Professional framing can range from $50 for a small, simple frame to $500+ for large, museum-quality framing. The main cost factors are frame material, glass type, matting, and labor.
Frame material is the biggest variable. Simple metal or basic wood frames are affordable, while ornate hardwood or specialty frames can be quite expensive.
Glass choice matters for works on paper. Museum glass offers UV protection and minimal reflection but costs significantly more. Canvas paintings typically skip glass entirely.
