Our Story

Framing with intention,
not automation.

Johnsons Frame Center has been a fixture on Lexington Avenue for nearly four decades. What started as a small shop with a passion for craftsmanship has grown into one of New York's most trusted framing studios — and we're still doing everything by hand, the same way we did on day one.

We work with a wide selection of genuine wood mouldings, synthetic profiles, and archival mat boards. Whether you're framing a $50 print or a $50,000 piece, the attention to detail is exactly the same.
