A little French flair, framed to match. đź’š

This vintage French print found its perfect partner in an acid-washed green frame. Look closely at the mat: the brown and gold bevel was hand-painted to pick up the details in the artwork.

It’s those finishing touches that make custom framing so much fun. ✨

A beautiful color combination 💛💜

The cheerful yellow needlework paired with a soft lilac mat and vintage white frame feels fresh, joyful, and completely charming. Proof that the right framing can make every color sing.

Framing meets engineering ✨

This vintage mezuzah case is suspended on brass rods inside a custom glassless shadow box. A small brass k**b at the top allows the case to gently spin, turning a meaningful object into an interactive work of art.

Finished with cream linen matting and a richly textured bronze-and-black stacked frame combination, every detail was designed to complement the age and character of the piece.

Beautifully imagined and ingeniously engineered by Jeff.

More than a collection, this shadow box holds a piece of family history. 🎣

These treasured fishing lures belonged to our client’s grandfather and great grandfather. Each one was carefully hand stitched onto a linen backing, then protected with museum glass to preserve the memories for generations to come.

A meaningful collection deserves to be seen, honored, and beautifully preserved.

Three feet high and framed. 🎶💛

These De La Soul figurines appear to float inside a custom shadow box, backed in rich raspberry suede with black suede walls and finished in a glossy yellow frame. Every color was chosen to echo the original packaging and capture the playful, unmistakable energy of De La Soul.

A little hip hop history, transformed into art for the wall.

A frame that hits all the right notes. 🎶💛

This playful “Koi Pond Vinyl” print pairs swimming koi and blooming lilies with the unmistakable rhythm of a record. We finished it with a crisp white mat and a brilliant yellow frame that pulls the color straight from the center of the artwork.

Bold, joyful, and just unexpected enough.

This one was special. ✨

We created this bold, triple stacked frame for our dear friend and beloved, iconic designer David Chenault. David A Chenault A weathered charcoal burl outer frame with rope detailing, and double stack wrought iron patina inner frames come together to give the vibrant artwork incredible depth, texture, and presence.

Three distinctive frames. One beautifully layered statement. Exactly the kind of unexpected combination we love bringing to life.

Good framing starts with looking closely. 🖼️

The soft greens, vivid pinks, and expressive black lines in these two pieces give us so much to work with. Warm gold frames with dark outer edges echo the artwork, while the patterned fabric borders add another layer of texture and detail.

Together, they make a beautiful pair, each with its own small character waiting to be noticed.

Swipe for a closer look, then bring something you love to Erickson & Ripper. Let’s find the frame that brings it all together.

Some pieces deserve a frame that’s just as thoughtful as the art itself.

For this playful cat print, we paired a custom graph paper mat with a polished black frame featuring a subtle glitter and sparkle finish. The clean geometric lines of the mat create unexpected visual interest, while the shimmering frame adds depth and sophistication without competing with the artwork.

It’s a reminder that custom framing isn’t just about protecting what you love. It’s about creating the perfect balance between the art, the materials, and the space it calls home.
