Vistra Framing and Gallery is a locally-owned business that
has provided quality framing services to the community of Eugene for the past
sixteen years. We specialize in custom framing as well as locating
specialty prints for the home, office or business. We also provide
creative solutions to difficult or unusual framing projects.
Shadow boxes are a truly elegant
approach to framing three-dimensional art or other objects. We can custom
build frames to any depth, using almost any type of hardwood and with your
choice of finish.
At Vistra Framing and
Gallery, we have the experience to help you design and display your most
treasured art objects in a truly custom, hand-crafted frame.
Here are some
examples of special projects we have designed and constructed in the past:
 |
This Venetian Carnival cat mask has been
hand-stitched to a rich purple suede fabric background, with the golden
ribbons artistically displayed. A shallow frame with matching
decorative edging has been custom-crafted to support the depth of the
mask. |

|
These antique Saudi Arabian scimitars
have been artfully arranged on a decorative fabric board. Despite
their weight, they have been secured without any visible attachments.
This gives them the effect of floating within the frame. The
antique-style moulding, with matching decorative elements, has been built up
to accommodate the depth of the objects. |

|
This unique elephant carving
has been attached to a neutral colored board and then outlined with a raised
border. There is no glass on this piece, which allows a more
three-dimensional look. The frame has a hand-painted geometrical
border, to give it a more ethnic feel. |
 |
This custom-milled, hand-finished frame has been routered out
to support two panes of glass. A hanger has also been custom-milled to allow the jersey
to hang freely between the glass. This presentation allows you to see the
front and back of the garment. |

|
This Native American garment with head dress has been hand-stitched on a nubuck
fabric, giving the piece a more primitive feel. To document the date and
description, an engraved plaque has been added. A simple shadow box moulding with an inset fillet
completes the elegant presentation. |
