Frame Designs Gallery

Frame Designs Custom Frame Shop and Art Gallery, established in 1979, is the place to go for all of your framing and artwork needs.  We are located in historic Fredericksburg, VA on a beautiful tree lined street right across from the University of Mary Washington. 

There are many ways to frame a piece, ornate or simple, classic or contemporary- the list goes on and on. Here at Frame Designs, we make the decision making process simpler by using our expert knowledge to find exactly the kind of framing you are looking for. With over thirty years experience, we've seen it all...from taxidermied turkey parts to an old church sign which survived an 1800's fire, there is no doubt that we've had our fair share of challenges, but always strove to do what we do best- excellent framing and customer service that fit a large variety of budgets and time constraints. Give us a call or stop in for a consultation, free of charge. Come in to check out some of the local art we have on our walls, or even just drop in for a cup of coffee and some conversation. Frame Designs is a friend to all.

Local and International Artwork
   Fredericksburg is rich in local artists, and we frame and sell many of their originals and prints.  We also sell a wide selection of works from artists around the World.
   From the soft watercolors of Judith Wigglesworth to the bold abstracts of Johnny Johnson, to the simplistic rusticity of P. Buckley Moss, we have something for everyone.
   We sell originals, signed and numbered prints, posters, civil war newspapers and everything in between. If you are looking for a specific print, we can most likely get it for you.
