Virtually all Framing has a Moulding around the outside and an Image or Object at its center. When you are looking for something to simply cover a wall for the time being, a frame and an image will usually do the trick. On the other hand, with just a little more imagination and one of our fabric-covered mats, liners, or a custom panel like the one shown above, you can create unique keepsakes that will become cherished possessions.
When a creative guy like Tim Franer wants to do something special for a client - like the piece shown above - he called Raphael's to see if we could create the fan shaped liner he had in mind. He gave us a drawing of what he was looking for and picked one of our beautiful Tussah Silks to cover it. A few days later he had his one-of-a-kind finished liner.
Our products embellish and customize almost any type of art or image. This is what Raphael's is about. We provide a selection of over 300 fabrics (Silks, Linens, Suedes, Cottons, Satins) that can be purchased by the yard, applied to nearly a hundred stock liner profiles, cover Mats in virtually any size, shape or with any number of openings, or used to cover unique custom panel liners like the one above. We also manufacture a dozen different Stretcher Bar profiles, produce an innovative line of Hardwood Float Frames, and do all kinds of custom fabrication work - ranging from distinctive Bulletin Boards, to Photo Boxes, Object Boxes, or Rotating Displays.
We provide the creative tools and materials used by thousands of Artists, Framers, Photographers and Galleries to turn their distinctive designs into unique framing. We welcome the opportunity to be able to show you how our products can really make a difference in the appeal of the framing you provide. Please take a look around our website. We include a more detailed list of the products we offer immediately below.
