Custom Framing & Frame Restoration for Fine Art in Las Vegas
Protect Your Art. Preserve Its Value. Present It Beautifully.
At Fine Art Conservation Laboratories (FACL, Inc.) in Las Vegas, we specialize in framing fine art, preserving artwork, and restoring historic picture frames.
Whether you're safeguarding a family treasure, preparing art for auction, or simply want a beautiful, protective frame—our lab provides
museum-quality expertise with a personal touch.
Why Framing Matters: Art Presentation & Preservation
A frame does more than display your art—it serves as a barrier against time, climate, and damage.
High temperatures, dry desert air, fluctuating humidity, and improper materials can all threaten the longevity of your artwork.
At FACL, we approach framing as both an art and a science. Every piece is evaluated for:
- Medium (oil, watercolor, paper, canvas)
- Condition (fragile, cracked, warped)
- Historical and market value
- Environmental needs (especially in Las Vegas’ dry climate)
Our Services
Antique & Fine Art Frame Restoration
We carefully restore:
- Gilded and carved frames with cracks or missing pieces
- Period frames from the 1800s–1950s

- UV-protective museum glass
- Canvas float frames or deep-set box frames
- Matting styles that match the period or style of the artwork

Real Client Story:
A Gallery Gift Framed the Wrong Way
A local client came to us with a vintage oil painting—a wedding gift from a gallery in Santa Fe. The frame was beautiful: ornate, heavy, and freshly gold-leafed. But something didn’t feel quite right.
After a quick inspection, we discovered...
- The painting was
secured with acidic tape directly onto the backing
- There was
no moisture barrier or UV protection
The decorative frame was new, but stylistically clashed with the painting’s historic period.
Worse, the client had started to notice faint discoloration forming along the canvas edge—classic signs of acid burn caused by non-archival materials.
We walked her through her options:
- Safely remove the tape and assess any damage
- Design a
new frame solution using a period-appropriate style
- Use
museum-grade mounting and glass to stop further deterioration
She was relieved.
“The gallery said it was museum quality,” she said, “but you’re the only ones who showed me what that actually means.”

We re-framed the piece using archival methods, preserving the integrity of the canvas and giving it a look that both matched the period
and protected it for future generations.
