Shop Update: Under a Little “Knee-Construction!” 🚧
Hi friends!
Cindy’s Custom Framing & Antique Art will be closed starting April 7th through early May 2026 while Cindy trades her framing tools for a brand-new knee (we hear it’s quite the upgrade 😉).
During this time, our workshop will be taking a short break—so no production or pickups will be available until we reopen. We promise Cindy will be back soon, good as new and ready to frame all your treasures again!
If you need to reach us, you can email [email protected] starting April 8th, and we’ll get back to you as we’re able (between rehab sessions 💪).
Thanks so much for your patience, support, and well wishes—we truly appreciate it!
See you in May! 💛

This artwork is a remastered and enhanced reproduction of an early steamship portrait titled “City of Macon.” The reproduction is based on a copy of the original oil painting inspired by Antonio Jacobsen, a prolific late 1800s and early 1900s nautical art painter. We expanded the image and retouched it using AI tools and Photoshop, which restored the details and vibrancy. The City of Macon has a fascinating history. This American steamship was built in the late 19th century for the Ocean Steamship Company of Savannah, Georgia (often referred to as the “Savannah Line”). It was launched in 1885 and was one of several “City” ships in the Savannah Line, which also included vessels such as the City of Savannah, City of Augusta, and City of Columbus. These steamers provided passenger and freight service between New York City and southern ports, primarily Savannah, Georgia. The City of Macon’s design was like other transitional steamships of the era. This design meant the ship was equipped and rigged with auxiliary sails (as shown in the painting) in addition to her steam-powered engine. This hybrid design was typical in the 1880s, when steam power was reliable but sails were still used for efficiency and as backup. The City of Macon regularly carried passengers, mail, and cotton cargo between New York and Savannah, strengthening commercial ties between the northeastern United States and the South. She remained in service into the early 20th century before being retired as steel-hulled steamers replaced the older iron and composite vessels.

Own a piece of history — display this artwork of the SS Alaska and bring the historic era of early steamships into your home. We are pleased to offer this remarkable artwork as a stretched canvas print. Some of the qualities of the artwork include printing the art on thick archival polyester canvas. The print is a giclee that is pH-neutral and acid-free, and the inks resist fading for over 100 years. Acid-free elements assure you that the print will not yellow over time. It has a semi-glossy sheen. The version we have in the shop is a 36” x24” mirror canvas wrap, on a 1.25” thickness solid wood stretcher bar. The stretcher bar features beautifully beveled sides, allowing for minimal contact with the canvas. The back is open with a sawtooth hanging system. Please get in touch with us with any questions or to place an order.

This artwork is a remastered and enhanced reproduction of an early steamship portrait titled “Alaska Guion Line’s Transatlantic Steamer.” The reproduction is based on a copy of the original oil painting inspired by Antonio Jacobsen, a prolific late 1800s and early 1900s nautical art painter. The original is an oil-style painting of Guion Line’s steamship SS Alaska. The painting depicts the ship underway in a choppy green sea, with twin funnels smoking, four auxiliary masts for propulsion, and a cloudy sky. We expanded the image and retouched it using AI tools and Photoshop, which restored the details and vibrancy. The artwork is titled SS Alaska Guion Line’s Transatlantic Steamer.

Launched by John Elder & Co. at Govan, Scotland, on 15 July 1881, the SS Alaska was a two-funnel, four-masted single-screw ocean liner, built for the Guion Line’s Liverpool–Queenstown–New York service. The ship was approximately 526 feet long with a 50.5-foot beam. It featured accommodations for roughly 350 saloon passengers and 1,000 steerage passengers. In April 1882, she won the Blue Riband with a record Atlantic passage (7 days, 6 hours, 43 minutes). In 1883, the SS Alaska became the first liner to reach New York in under a week. The ship’s speed was expensive. The Alaska would burn approximately 250 tons of coal per day. She continued service through the 1880s. Records show numerous express crossings on the Liverpool–Queenstown–New York route through the 1880s; she was laid up when Guion suspended sailings in 1894, chartered in 1897 to Compañía Trasatlántica Española as Magallanes, then used as a workers’ accommodation hulk before being broken up at Preston in 1902.

This is a remastered and enhanced reproduction of a clipper ship produced from a copy of the original oil painting by Antonio Jacobsen, a prolific late 1800s and early 1900s nautical art painter. We expanded the image, retouched it, and improved its clarity using AI tools and Photoshop to restore details and vibrancy. The reproduction artwork pays respect to Antonio N. G. Jacobsen, who painted portraits of the working ships of New York Harbor with precise hull lines, rigging, taut canvas, and lively seas. The original painting titled “Young America At Sea” is a true testament to Jacobsen’s skill as a talented nautical artist.
The ship, Young America, had a fascinating history. William H. Webb’s New York shipyard launched the ship in 1853. At that time, Young America was one of the finest American extreme clippers. She sailed the New York to San Francisco route during the Gold Rush era and ranged widely to Liverpool, to China, Australia, the Philippines, Mauritius, and more. She made over twenty New York to San Francisco westbound passages. For its day, the ship was fast, averaging roughly 117–118 days, with notable record runs including Liverpool–San Francisco (99 days, 1872) and San Francisco–New York (83 days, 1870). She was sold in 1883 and renamed the Miroslav. The Miroslav sailed from Delaware to Fiume in February 1886, but was never heard from again.

This is a remastered and enhanced reproduction of a clipper ship produced from a copy of the original oil painting inspired by Antonio Jacobsen, a prolific late 1800s and early 1900s nautical art painter. We expanded the image and retouched it using AI tools and Photoshop to restore details and vibrancy. The artwork is titled The American Clipper Flying Cloud At Full Sail. Donald McKay’s East Boston–built extreme clipper, the Flying Cloud, shattered the New York to San Francisco sea route in 89 days, 8 hours, sailing under Captain Josiah Creesy with his wife, Eleanor Creesy, as the navigator at the charts. The ship sailed to California as part of the Gold Rush era. Later, she was bound for Australia and the timber trade. Eventually, she met her fate when she ran aground on June 19, 1874, on the Beacon Island Bar, Saint John, New Brunswick. This artwork is in the classic style of Antonio Jacobsen, the prolific chronicler of ships, who captured hull lines, rigging, and sea state with unmatched accuracy.

We proudly present this remastered and enhanced reproduction of a clipper ship that we have produced from a copy of the original oil painting by Antonio Jacobsen, a prolific late 1800s and early 1900s nautical art painter. The art’s title is The Three-Masted Schooner Andrew C. Pierce. In 1877, the owners launched The Andrew C. Pierce from Bath, Maine. The ship was one of America’s proud wooden-hulled schooners. With her sleek lines and towering masts, she carried coal, lumber, and cargo along the East Coast and across the Atlantic, representing the last significant era of working sail before steamships took over. Ships like the Andrew C. Pierce remind us of a time when wind and craftsmanship powered global trade. Today, she stands as a symbol of America’s maritime heritage and the artistry of 19th-century shipbuilding.

Own a piece of history — display this artwork of the Andrew C. Pierce and bring the age of sail into your home. We are pleased to offer this remarkable artwork as a stretched canvas print. Some of the qualities of the artwork include the thick archival polyester canvas on which it is printed. The print is a giclee that is pH-neutral and acid-free, and the inks resist fading for over 100 years. Acid-free elements assure you that the print will not yellow over time. It has a semi-glossy sheen. The version we have in the shop is a 36” x24” mirror canvas wrap, on a 1.25” thickness solid wood stretcher bar.

We are excited to offer a unique and rare item that we have custom framed. This piece is an ornate, original Egyptian papyrus featuring a goddess and intricate hieroglyphics. The framed project consists of two papyrus pieces. The larger, primary piece depicts an Egyptian goddess with large, multi-colored wings and a traditional headdress, kneeling with outstretched arms. Hieroglyphics surround her figure. The smaller piece below illustrates an Egyptian scene with multiple figures, depicting a narrative or ritual, and is also adorned with hieroglyphics. The vivid colors and traditional motifs are characteristic of ancient Egyptian art. For this project, we used a black linen, acid-free mat, which provides excellent contrast and draws the eye to the artwork. The frame is made of wood with an ornate, gold-colored gesso finish, complementing the gold in the artwork and enhancing the overall presentation of the papyrus art. Our highest quality museum-grade UV-protective glass covers the framed piece, offering spectacular reflection control and optimal light transmission for viewing. We employ conservation-grade materials and framing techniques to protect this artwork. With considerable experience framing unique and original pieces, we encourage you to contact us with any questions or inquiries about your framing needs.

We proudly showcase a flag flown on September 11 during Operation Spartan Shield. This custom framing project provides a patriotic display and testament to America's resolve never to forget 9/11. The American flag is at the center of this framed piece, which we have carefully arranged into a neatly folded triangle. The iconic white stars against the deep blue fabric evoke a sense of patriotic pride and remembrance. This arrangement symbolizes national identity and pays tribute to those who served during Operation Spartan Shield.

Creating this piece involved placing the flag with a star at the top and then hand-sewing it to ensure it remains secure and does not shift. Beneath the flag is a certificate of authenticity that includes the name of the individual to whom the flag was presented. We used blue and red acid-free silken mats to complement the flag and certificate. Our signature Open V-Groove mat-cut surrounds the flag and certificate, adding depth and dimension to the display. An all-wood black matte frame completes the design.

We used conservation-grade materials, including UV-protective glazing, to preserve this project. Our shop frames many flags and certificates, so please get in touch with us with any questions about custom framing.

We are excited to showcase one of our custom-framed guidons: the framed guidon of the 122nd Tactical Support Detachment. This striking piece exemplifies military pride and symbolism. It features an embroidered guidon that has been securely machine-sewn to the mat to prevent slippage or sagging.
Beneath the guidon, we've included a rank pin, a plaque commemorating the officer's dates of service, and a military intelligence insignia pin. A silken blue top mat enhances the colors of the guidon and adds vibrancy to the overall framed piece. Our signature Open V-Groove mat cut surrounds the objects in the frame, revealing the silken red mat underneath. This design choice adds depth and dimension while complementing the guidon's blue and red colors.
The framed piece is completed with an all-wood matte black frame. We use conservation-grade materials throughout the project, including acid-free mats, acid-free backing, and UV-protective glazing. We frame guidons from all branches of the military. Please feel free to call us with any questions regarding designs or pricing; we are happy to assist you.

We wish to showcase a military art project we completed. The artwork focuses on the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, 4th Battalion. The print is titled “Death Waits In The Dark,” by the famous military artist Bryan Snuffer. Framing for this incredible limited edition print involving Army Aviation and Special Forces units utilized conservation materials and techniques to preserve the artwork for generations to enjoy. The framed piece has a sense of depth created using triple acid-free mats, including a blue top mat, a black center mat, and a blue bottom mat. Unit coins and patches are included in the design to create balance. A plaque honoring the years of service is centered beneath the print, and surrounded by the coins and patches. Our signature Open V-Groove mat-cut surrounds the artwork and the coins. This unique mat cut exposes the black mat beneath and provides additional depth and dimension to the elements within the frame. A black, smooth finish frame complements the artwork and the mats. The framed artwork and the memorabilia were presented to an individual in recognition of his service and dedication. We offer variations of art framed with coins, insignia, rank pins, and more. If you want to honor a retiring service member, we invite you to contact us to discuss prices and framing options.
