We are one of the last framers of its kind in the United States, committed to the craft of making unique, beautiful handmade frames using European techniques mastered centuries ago.
We start with a single piece of wood and build a profile to fit your style. After applying twenty-two layers to achieve the perfect balance of design and elegance, the finished result is a beautifully hand-crafted and hand-carved frame with invisible seams that showcases your finest and most cherished works of art.

I write to provide my unqualified recommendation for Dee McQuesten and the services of McQuesten Framing. Dee has provided me with framing services for my home and office for more than five years. The diplomas and certificates that hang on my "ego wall" were all matted and framed by Dee, as is a piece of childhood art with great sentimental value that hangs in my home.
The members of my practice group here at Short, Cressman & Burgess periodically frame significant media coverage of matters pertaining to valued clients, and we always rely on Dee. The quality of her matting and framing is exquisite, the convenience of pick up and delivery (and hanging, if needed) is tremendous, her turnaround time is rapid, and she is a delight to work with.
