About Eli Wilner & Company

Eli Wilner is a master framer and the owner of Eli Wilner & Company, a world-renowned atelier composed of a team of thirty highly skilled artisans, including 15 frame conservators, and has completed over 10,000 custom framing projects to date. When institutions and collectors want to ensure that a stunning work of art is properly framed to both magnify its beauty and be true to the artist's intent, they go to Eli Wilner. Using the choicest woods and finishes, he creates frames true to history and the context in which a painting was made.

Recognized as the foremost American authority on period framing and founded in 1983, Eli Wilner & Company specializes in American and European frames from the 17th-through mid-20th centuries. Clients include fine art collectors, major art and historical institutions as well as The White House, where he has created 28 frames for its collection.

With a true gift for pairing a specific work of art with its proper frame, Eli Wilner takes pride in each project. Every frame is handcrafted to not only reflect the time in which the painting was created, but also to best reflect the framing choices known to be made by the artists themselves.

Most recently, he has created a hand-carved and gilded recreation of the lost original frame for Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emmanuel Leutze. This frame will be the focal point of the renovated American Wing at The Metropolitan Museum, and is slated to be unveiled at the opening in January, 2012. This unprecedented undertaking is one of the most complex restoration and reframing projects in the history of the museum.

The 3,000lb gilded frame's opening size is over 18 x 24 feet, and is surmounted by an elaborate carved construction, twelve feet across, displaying an eagle, flags, pikes, a banner and other regalia.

In addition, Eli has been influential in helping achieve some of the record sales prices at both Christie's and Sotheby's Auction Houses over the past two decades. Eli Wilner & Company has loaned over 300 frames each year to significant paintings that are missing their original frames and lack a certain presence. Picasso's Dora Mar sold for $95 Million at Sotheby's in 2006, in part due to Eli Wilner's historical expertise, craftsmanship and artistry.

Eli Wilner's uncanny ability to get inside the artists's mind, see the work through their eyes and feel the sensibility of the era is what truly sets him apart from everyone else. To own an Eli Wilner frame is to own a masterpiece in itself.

Eli Wilner & Company is located at 1525 York Avenue in New York City.
