The Archival Framer is a custom picture framing and conservation studio in the Dallas Design District.
We’re a full-service custom framing studio serving Dallas’s Design District. From original artwork and family photographs to diplomas, jerseys, and memorabilia, we build every frame by hand using conservation-grade materials designed to protect what matters to you for decades, not just years.
Our studio sits at 1349 Chemical Street, right in the heart of the Dallas Design District, minutes from Uptown, Oak Lawn, and Downtown Dallas. We work with local artists, interior designers, and collectors throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area, along with everyday clients bringing in a graduation certificate, a wedding invitation, or a piece passed down through the family.
Every project starts with a conversation about how the piece will be displayed and how long it needs to last. From there, we hand-select mats, glazing, and mounting methods suited to that specific piece, whether it’s a canvas headed for a Highland Park living room or an archival document going into safe, long-term storage.
