The Grace of the Frame Finds its Essence in the Depth of Yuean Hai
Three decades of traditional framing craft, paired with modern print technology and classical Chinese mounting techniques. From wedding portraits and sports memorabilia to ink calligraphy and oversize works — your keepsakes deserve the finest care.
三十年工坊
Est. 1994 · Richmond since 1996
Three generations of craft, one unbroken line. From a calligraphy family in Dongshi, Taichung, to a framing workshop in Richmond, BC — Tseng Miao-yuan carries his family's exacting standards into every step of the work, and has done so for thirty years without compromise.

Wizard CMC Z1 · Epson SureColor P20000
Silk-mounted hanging scrolls are still mounted by hand. Mat boards are cut by a Wizard computerized cutter to within 0.001 inch. Prints are rendered by a 64-inch nine-colour pigment system that captures every gradient. Old craft and new precision share the same bench.
從修補到典藏
Photographs · Silk · Hanging Scrolls
We catch memories before they fall. Faded wedding portraits, torn ink paintings, calligraphy yellowed by the years — each one cleaned, mended, backed, and re-mounted by hand, piece by piece. So the next thirty years can still see it.
每一幅都是故事
Weddings · Memorabilia · Ink · Originals
From newlywed portraits to a child's first drawing; from a signed jersey to an artist's original — what you bring us isn't just paper or cloth. It's a span of time. Our work is to make sure it stays exactly where it should.

Where heritage meets modern technology
Inside three decades of workshop tradition, we also embrace the most advanced framing equipment in the industry. The Wizard CMC Model Z1 computerized mat cutter holds every cut to within one-thousandth of an inch. Each piece is guarded twice over — once by craft, once by precision.
Museum-grade prints by a 64-inch master
We print on an Epson SureColor P20000 — a 64-inch professional large-format printer with the UltraChrome PRO nine-colour pigment ink system, capturing every gradient from deepest shadow to brightest highlight. Photography, fine-art reproductions, oversize posters — every print from YH meets museum-archival standards.
Three decades of craft, made in Richmond,
for the works that hold your story.
Founded in 1996 in Richmond, British Columbia, Yuean Hai Framing has now passed thirty winters and summers. We work with both wholesale and retail clients, anchored by three principles: the finest materials, exacting craft, and personal service.
A wedding portrait, a treasured jersey, an ink painting passed down from a parent — every work carries a story. Our work is to make sure that story is preserved completely, seen clearly, and passed on whole.
A lifetime of craft, preserved one piece at a time
From the archaic poise of seal script to the abandon of cursive — Tseng Miao-yuan writes the integrity of the literati and the compassion of the Buddhist tradition onto rice paper, with thirty years of practice behind every stroke.
Every work below is mounted, restored, and framed by Yuean Hai using traditional silk hanging-scroll mounting and carved frames.

Words from clients who trust us with their memories
We had our wedding reception photo printed as a canvas and it was very beautiful. We appreciate the work and customer service. Highly recommend for photo framing.
Most reasonably priced picture framing shop. The lady owner was very helpful, customer-oriented, and professional in providing suggestion. Highly recommended to those art-loving people.
I have been practising Chinese Calligraphy for years, and Yuean Hai has always been my trustworthy partner. Their choice of material, craftsmanship, and heart-warming service are why I keep going back.
