Sully Framing & Art

02/22/2022

How and why Sully Framing & Art came to be. It was 1987 and I observed Joe Pisani -- of Art Gallery 101 -- giving a customer a quote for custom picture framing. Having just returned from Japan and bringing back a pocket computer, I created a program to calculate the cost of a custom picture framing job.

Joe was very excited and proposed creating a company and selling these systems. The name of the company was COMP-U-ENTERPRISES. We then pulled in my long-time friend Cosmo Quattrone to be a partner in this new venture.

Adding to the story...
We attended picture framing trade shows to promote our product -- which was called Comp-U-Frame -- with the help of Dorsey Taylor and Fred Laidey of Roanoke Moulding Design. They were a hoot and good people. Thanks, guys!

Long story cut short, this led to an interest in picture framing. Cosmo and I then went to the Carolina Framing School in North Carolina, learned the trade, created Sully Framing & Art, and the rest is history.

The framing of the One Hundred Sixteenth Congress of the United States of America, H. R. 5430. This one has a gold mat with a black core mat. Because of the large sharpie, we had to build-out the back of this frame to accommodate the thickness of the sharpie.

Can we frame your next Redline Bill?

Lady and the Tramp Framing

Disney's Lady and the Tramp -- Vintage 1980's original production poster art on a color Kodak film plate slide. This is an extremely rare piece of art used in the production of a vintage Disney poster. This transparent color Kodak film image is the actual artwork that was used in the production and blown up to create the poster!

We framed it in a mat black shadowbox style frame and incorporated an LED lighting system that you can turn the light on/off using a remote control panel. We also used museum glass that will protect the piece for a very long time. The frame can be hung on a wall or stand up on its own with the rubber bumbons on the bottom of the frame.

Call us the next time you have valuable art to frame -- correctly!

Matching the type of frame to the style of art -- IS AN ART in itself! Using the right matting is also extremely important and can add or detract from the completed task. We believe that SULLY FRAMING & ART have mastered this.

We also used museum glass that will protect this art for a very long time and virtually eliminates the reflection in glass.

When you want it to look the absolute best, bring it to us!

The artwork was done by ROSEMARY FEIT COVEY. Rosemary can be found at the Torpedo Factory in Old Town, Alexandria. RosemaryFeitCovey.com

Displaying your patches in a simple but beautiful frame. We stitched each patch on a fabric dark blue mounting board, used framing spacer to keep the glass from touching the patches.

Can we do one for you?

Honoring your past is important. Actually doing something about it is up to you! This photograph of a little girl with her sister or mother is a beautiful family heirloom and when a piece like this receives the appropriate attention it deserves — it will bring much joy to you and your family.
....
We framed this piece in a shadow style frame -- keeping the photograph from touching the glass. We used museum glass that blocks more than 99% of ultra-violet rays. It has an anti-reflective surface far superior to a typical non-glare glass. This protects your photograph from further fading.
Call us for your next memorable project!

A very nice "going away" gift for someone. A beautiful photograph of the Statue of Liberty surrounded by 28 challenge coins -- each in its individual circular mat opening.

This is going to make a statement and show the gratitude they have for this employee.
