Offering Framed Prints? - 08-31-2006, 09:11 PM


Does anyone know of a good wholesaler for frames and shadow boxes? I've got a guy that I work with who provides custom hardwood frames, but I would love to find a company with more mass-produced stuff, lower prices, and especially shadow boxes (obviously quality is still important...). My guy is an old-school artisan...

I apreciate the help... please throw out any suggestions.

how about you make your guy mass produced, by getting him more customers. that way he can provide you with anything or more options.
p.s. sorry i don't know of any whole sellers in the frame bussiness.

Appreciate the suggestion... but, everything he does is hand carved and nice. He has distributors throughout the Northwest and New England, and it takes weeks for him to turn-around one of his frames. And since not everyone can afford thousand dollar frames, I'm looking for something to offer my more middle class clients.

So, anyone else... ideas???

I don't know any wholesalers, but if you look hard enough you can find what you're looking for at a decent price at Garden Ridge or Michael's.
