Eli Wilner & Company, a leading New York City art gallery that specializes in American and European frames from the 19th through early 20th century, today introduced the first upscale plasma television frame. The high-end television frame is available in over 3000 styles and is specifically designed to fit any interior and blend with surrounding furnishings.

For years, Eli Wilner & Company have created perfect marriages by uniting paintings with appropriate frames, enhancing both their quality and beauty. Among these are the paintings of Renoir, Monet, Picasso, Sargent, Eakins, Church, Bierstadt, Hartley, and O'Keeffe. The decision to move their product into the mainstream for plasma televisions was a natural progression.

"Plasma televisions are staple items in most of our clients, homes; but, many clients found that their televisions didn't blend with their other art and collectibles. We knew we could solve that issue by creating synergy in their homes with our large selection of frames," said Eli Wilner, Founder and CEO of Eli Wilner & Company. "These frames make the television experience truly come to life and they take away some of that harsh electronic look. Home theater systems should blend with the rest of your home; not stick out."

Eli Wilner & Company is the world's largest resource for antique American and European frames. The company has completely reframed 27 paintings for the White House. As specialists in period framing for over 20 years, Eli Wilner & Company has worked with museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and auction houses such as Sotheby's and Christie's.

About Eli Wilner & Company: Eli Wilner founded the company in 1983 when frames were still being discarded, with the purpose of educating curators, collectors and dealers about the importance of the antique frame. Eli Wilner & Company has been primarily responsible for the increased awareness and appreciation for the American and European antique frame from the 19th and early 20th century. Since 1983, Eli Wilner & Company has published over 100 articles about the antique frame and curated several important museum exhibitions. The company now employs a staff of forty highly skilled individuals including 22 frame conservators.

Our plasma television frames range in price from $20,000 to $50,000 for a replica frame and from $30,000 to $250,000 for a period frame, depending on the complexity and size. Our specially devised measuring system insures that we attain exact measurements for a variety of televisions.

Acquiring such a frame is very similar to that of purchasing a frame for a painting.

The process is as follows:

• The client sends us an image of their interior and we will suggest frame choices. If there is an interior designer working on the project we are happy to consult with them as well.
• The client, their designer, or their architect would then provide us with exact measurements based on our measuring system.
• We can then create digital images illustrating the proposed frame around the client's television in their interior. This image can be sent to the client in either printed format or file attachment to an e-mail message.
