We're More Than Just Pretty Artwork...

You know W. King Ambler is the place for fine, decorative artwork.  Most of our images are WKA exclusives with a wide variety of subject matter - anything ranging from very traditional to very transitional, from botanical to landscapes to sea life.  Each piece is carefully styled, matting and moulding choices made to fit today's design trends with longevity in mind.  And then each piece is hand assembled by craftsmen right here in St. Louis, MO, with attention paid to every minute detail. 

In fact, it's the details that we specialize in.  Whether it's the hand embellishments on a print, an intricate hand finished frame, or even just the high quality materials we use, all of these things are the strong base upon which we build truly beautiful, fine decorative artwork.

But WKA isn't just a line of pretty artwork.  We also specialize in framed antique prints, mirrors, and custom framing.  In fact, just this spring we were happy to introduce Smoked Mirrors into our line.  We've always carried Bevelled Mirrors, which are available with almost any moulding in our line in both standard and custom sizes and feature a 1" bevel.  Standard sizes include 16" x 16", 18" x 24", 24" x 36", 30" x 40", 30" x 48", and 42" x 60". 





The Smoked Mirrors in our line have no bevel, but feature a beautiful, antique smokey haze throughout.  Prices and moulding options are the same as in our Bevelled Mirror line, but Smoked Mirrors only come in standard sizes 18" x 24" or 24" x 36", or in any custom size smaller than 24" x 36".

Other Top Sellers at High Point


New Introductions weren’t the only things selling in High Point. Just so you don’t get the wrong idea, today we’re featuring some top selling items that weren’t already in our line prior to Spring's High Point market.  And really, that’s what we’re about here at W. King Ambler – creating artwork with some staying power - quite literally Art for a Lifetime.

These pieces range from very traditional to very transitional, but there’s no denying that each set has a little something special.  Here are the top 5:

P1967-05075 • Large Strutt Trees

P1967-05075 • Large Strutt Trees • WKA Exclusive • 6 images available

This WKA exclusive fine art giclee print is based on the original hand-colored steel engravings and is part of our Ship-It-Now program, full of popular items that ship within 5 business days.  The finished pieces are 28 1/2" H x 33 3/4" W each, styled with a natural linen wrapped mat and a honey finished burl frame with gold accents.
