The examples included here are all framed using USA made Nielsen frames. These are the frames I use when I’m selling framed prints at art shows. If you are interested in having me frame your prints in these Nielsen frames use the contact page to ask me for a quote for framing and shipping. You should include the size of the frame and print along with the zip code of the shipping address.

Creative Framing


Some of our customers have come up with some very creative frames for their Patent Artwork prints. We wanted to share a couple of super cool ones with you.

Five small red patent prints stacked in a tall black ladder frame

Fire Department Prints

This idea for framing FD prints is amazing. It came from Karen who gave this set of prints to her firefighter husband Scott.  Using a ladder is perfect for displaying these Patent Artwork prints of firefighting equipment. She purchased the ladder from Kohl’s but you could always make one of these yourself. You just need a ladder with rungs that you can hang framed prints from using cup hooks.

Two guitar patent prints in one wide wood frame

Guitar Prints

This frame for guitar prints was hand made by Brian. Not only is this beautifully made from Bird’s Eye Maple and Mahogany but it encompasses features from guitars. Take a close look.  There are fret marks and fret wire inlaid into the frame. If anyone is interested in having a frame like this built for their guitar prints do contact me because I believe Brian will take custom orders.
