Eli Wilner & Company is the world's finest resource for antique American and European frames. As a specialist in period framing for nearly 40 years, Eli Wilner has completed 28 projects for the White House and over 15,000 framing projects for collectors and museums.

The frame gallery has recently announced a new risk-free program to provide frames at no upfront cost to consignors of artwork for sale at auction. In order to participate in this program, the owner of the artwork must agree to purchase the Wilner frame, but the payment is only due after the successful sale of the artwork. If the artwork fails to sell, the frame would be returned to Wilner, and no charges would apply. This way the consignor is protected from any framing costs in the event that the artwork does not sell.
