Our studio in Hill City specializes in creating leather frame designs for Native American and other fine art. From inspiration to completion, Warrior’s Work frames are original works of art, so they are signed, dated and numbered in that same spirit. The frames are covered in deerskin, buffalo or elk leather, and all embossments and beadwork are designed and created in our studio. No mouldings, presses or other manufactured framing devices are used for our frames. Each one is hand-crafted and designed to enhance the art it surrounds.
Leather framed artwork can be purchased “off the wall” at the gallery or our clients commission us to frame special pieces of their own. Commission work starts at $1000. A 50% deposit is required on frame orders and due to the demand for our frames, as well as our insistence on the highest standards, it may take up to six months to complete your order. We appreciate your patience and have consistently been told by our clients that our artful frames are worth the wait.
Our leather framing gallery also creates “limited edition frames” using select images by some of our most popular artists, and repeating a frame design for a limited edition image. The gallery also carries a selection of leather-framed mirrors that incorporate both Native American and/or contemporary designs. Some of our newest designs include brushed aluminum and copper leaf.
