Two Irvine reviews, word for word.
One customer chose frames for two pieces of art with a salesperson at the counter. The other needed a quick framing for an art show, was kept within a reasonable budget, and had it back earlier than requested, wrapped to travel.
Attentive and helpful staff. Beautiful store with many framing options. Our salesperson Chris helped us choose frames for two pieces of art and did an excellent job.
YelpFound this shop randomly on yelp when I needed a quick framing for an art show. They were super helpful and kept me within a reasonable budget. The job was completed even earlier than requested and it was beautifully done. I really appreciate how you wrapped it in protective bubble wrap since I needed to transport the piece. Will definitely trust you with future work.
Can you frame a piece in time for an art show?
Yes: tell the designer the date when you order. Framing time depends on the piece and is quoted at the counter; one Irvine customer’s art-show piece was finished earlier than she had asked and wrapped in bubble wrap so she could transport it.
Every finished piece is wrapped by hand before it leaves the shop, and large pieces, multiple-piece orders and long distances get a custom wood crate.
Ten minutes to many framing options.
Alison S. found a beautiful store with many framing options. They come down to three choices, each held against your piece at the counter.
The moulding
Hundreds of corner samples on the wall, oak, black, gilt and walnut among them, held against the piece at the design table.
The mat
Mat boards kept flat in drawers, then cut by computer to the opening your piece needs.
The glazing
Museum-quality or UV-protective glazing, chosen with you for the piece, then fitted on the production floor.
