Frames...with a history, Groton

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
We use exclusively reclaimed and antique materials to offer custom artwork framing, and build custom furniture. Materials generally include reclaimed barn board, flooring, shutters, and re-sawn lumber from structural beams. Our antique window mirrors are genuine antique architectural pieces.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
My grandfather was a carpenter, furniture builder, and frame maker. His high quality work and craftsmanship inspired me to start the business. I started just making small photo frames and 10 years later, the business has evolved and now includes home decor and custom furniture, as well as frames.

What do you love most about your job?
Creating unique one of a kind pieces for people to enjoy in their homes. Knowing that no one else can own exactly the same piece. And knowing the history behind the material used to build the piece really makes it all the more special.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?
Recently, a good customer told me that my work inspired him and his Dad to use material from their family's barn to create and build a custom wooden frame for a piece of sentimental artwork.
