Museum Quality Custom Picture Framing

A full-service custom framing shop serving Waltham and the Boston area since 1989 — archival framing at surprisingly fair prices.

Please call to schedule an appointment.

◆
Since 1989

Framing by artists, for artists

Artist Bob Fitzgerald founded the business in a spacious warehouse to offer fellow artists a more affordable framing option. By choosing a larger, lower-cost space over a traditional retail storefront — and trusting that word of mouth would grow the business — his idea succeeded.

Today, 90% of our clients include artists, art consultants, interior designers, museums, and local universities. We work closely with every client so they have a role in the creative process every step of the way. Our qualified professionals have over twenty-five years of experience.

“I went to Felton Street Studios to have my uncle’s World War Two Purple Heart medal and certificate framed. The team was extremely friendly and professional. They did a fantastic job! A few months later I found two more medals, and they mounted them without a full new frame. When I picked them up, to my surprise, they said no charge! Felton Street Studios are professional, caring and passionate. I highly recommend them.”

“I have done various personal and exhibition mounting and framing with these folks over a number of years. The team is great, the service is great, turnaround time is spot on. The 1:1 focus on finding the perfect mat, frame type, material and color, glass, and accent boards is just not to be discounted. If you need something framed right, come here.”

“Love Felton Street. Woman owned, they are wonderfully flexible with timing needs even on short notice, and have a great selection and range of options. They are excellent problem solvers and their service and value are top notch. I have used them for years and recommend them to other artist friends when they see my work and ask about framing. So glad they are here.”

“Felton Framers was recommended to me by an artist friend who has all of her work framed here before her shows. I have always been impressed with the level of personal service, the large variety in frame choices & expert staff input, the quality of the workmanship, the fair prices and the finished product.”

“I was getting a very important family artifact framed, and the folks at Felton Street Studios were friendly, very helpful, and finished the work right on time, and all for a great price! Highly, highly recommend !!!Great all around”

“I had a very custom job I needed and I looked at a few shops in the Wellesley area and was turned off. The price and attitude were a little much. After a little Google work, I found Felton Street Studios and got what I wanted at a great price and with great customer service. I will now only go to Felton Street Studios. Another reference point is that every time I go, there are professional artists there getting things framed. Two Thumbs Up”

“I print Museum Quality Fine Art Archival limited Edition Gicles and photography for Artists, Designers and Photographers and I send all my customers to Felton Street Studios in Waltham for their custom framing. They're fast and attentive and have an excellent inventory of moulding. The staff is very knowledgeable in all kinds of special projects and eager to help. Besides the speed and quality, they offer better than competitive pricing. Call these guys first if you want to save time and money. The best !”
