The frame assembly room is adjacent to the frame selection area so you can actually watch the matting, hinging, and framing assembly process by Saper Galleries professionals.  Your art is stored in sleeves behind doors to provide for security and protection.  This efficiently designed room stores all the mat boards, glass, and supplies needed to hand complete every frame order to perfection.
