A truly unique frame completes a space, elevates the Art it surrounds, and shows off the tastes of the patron. Using the time-honored craft of carving and leafing with 22 carat gold- this frame was created to celebrate beer- and a bar that has become nationally known for selling the best. After commissioning a stained glass artist to create the window- the owners of the bar wanted a frame that would compliment the Art and feel at home in a Belgian monastery. Using only traditional techniques and finishes- this was the result. The carving can be original- or recreated precisely from digital files. The details can be painted, leafed in copper, aluminum, or brilliant 22 carat gold (as seen in the example). With true custom framing- every detail is important and contributes to the end product. Please get in touch with any questions to start your perfect frame.

I make custom frames and display cases for things that people love. Svelte frames for awkward items, custom cases for cherished sculptures, frames made out of wood pulled from your grandpa's barn, and so on and so on.
Even with the bewildering variety of frames available at most 'custom frame shops'- none possess the truly handmade touch of the Art that they are going around. I, however, work with clients from design, to wood selection- profile to finish.
With 13 years in custom framing and a background in graphic design, I combine modern tools with timeless techniques and carefully selected materials to create absolutely unique and custom projects.

Kari Otten
For Kari Otten's Picture FrameThe final product was very well done, and it got to me by the time I needed it. He was very quick to respond to my inquirys and concerns.
Maggie Peters
For Maggie's Frame for holding guitar picksThe finished piece was beautiful and better than what I had even imagined it to be in the first place. Considering it was the first time Blackrabbet had tried this particular project, it came in a very timely manner. Overall, I was very impressed with the craftsmanship of the piece, as well as how often Marlowe updated me on the process of building it. I'm very glad Marlowe found my project and decided to make it for me!
Kate
For Kate's Picture FrameThe frame Marlowe made for me is beautiful. He is a skilled craftsman and designed something that perfectly matched my request. He also communicated with me frequently and clearly, showing much better professionalism than many makers on this site. The project did take quite a long time and was pricey, but you get what you pay for! I love the finished product and plan to work with Marlowe again.
