An article “Framing in the Round calls for creativity” describes custom framing design for a 400- year- old map so both sides could be viewed.
Free standing custom frame required a 100% bespoke approach. “The project could be called ‘beyond custom,’ due to how complicated it was to make this piece truly special.”

Oliver Brothers and Target Cancer Foundation
location: Oliver Brothers Studio,
117 Elliott Street, #4A, Beverly, MA 01915
Join us in raising funds for rare cancers research.
Rare cancers lack funding and basic research tools, and as a result, there is no treatments and a survival rate is poor.
We will help raise funds for rare cancers research in two ways:
When you buy a custom frame- we will donate 15% of the entire sale to Target Cancer Foundation.
When you engage us to restore an artwork- we will donate a $100 to Target Cancer Foundation.
Target Cancer Foundation is changing the outlook for those fighting rare cancers by
funding innovative rare cancer research, fostering collaborations between researchers, and raising awareness.
TaretCancer was founded by our life long friend Paul Poth, for whose cholangiocarcinoma there was no treatment or cure. Paul died in August 2009, but his mission continues in an effort to ensure that others diagnosed with rare cancers will have real treatment options – and a chance to live. If you can’t join us on November 22nd and 23rd you can make your donation

In Honor of Veterans Day
“There are few companies in America with the pedigree of the Oliver Brothers in Beverly, Massachusetts. For over 160 years, this company has been restoring some of the nation‘s most treasured works of art. James Oliver, the original founder of the firm, was trained and worked as an art restorer in Scotland. Some time before 1850nhe arrived in New York to build a trade that would yield the preeminent art restoration company in the United States. Moving to Boston after Civil War, this is the same firm that in 1906 restored Gilbert Stuart’s painting of General Washington that hangs in the Connecticut State Capitol. It is Oliver Brothers that just completed work on Canton’s monument to the Great War.”
