Ben Franklin specializes in archival framing of your precious artwork, photos and memorabilia. They offer a full line of archival mats and UV filtering glass to minimize the damaging effects of light on your artwork.

You will have no problem finding the perfect frame for your artwork. Ben Franklin has over 3000 mouldings for you to choose from. In addition to custom framing, they have the largest selection of glass-included ready-made frames in Loudoun County.

You can also enhance your artwork with a custom-cut mat. Since purchasing a computerized mat cutter, Ben Franklin now offers a wide variety of specialty mats to enhance your artwork.

Other services offered include dry mounting of posters and prints, and needlework stretching.
