I brought three artworks in to be fixed. It took more than four weeks and it cost almost $300…read more One of the artworks had the wire on the back incorrectly installed and after five days of hanging on the wall, the frame fell down and was irreparably damaged. I sent an email to The Picture Store with images of what had happened and asked for a refund for the one artwork that was done incorrectly. I left a message a week later and now, after almost two weeks, I still have not heard back. Go someplace where the customers are treated respectfully after the work is finished.

One of the best independent artist galleries / workspaces in the entire city. Cool, fun,…read moreunpretentious and housed in a 4 story labyrinth of a brick building. Artists are all friendly and engaging and will usually stop whatever they are working on to talk in an approachable fashion. Prices are very reasonable, although many of the pieces are quite large and would be difficult to own in the spaces most of us have in the city. There is an onsite framer named Chris who will custom frame any of the inexpensive prints you want. Plenty of off street parking too, a rarity for Boston. Kid and pet friendly.

Oliver Brothers restored my painting and I can now no longer notice any dots on it, which is remarkable as it's a very complicated painting. The restoration took many months but was worth it.

I came here to get two 18x24 prints framed. I wanted nice frames but nothing too extravagant. The…read moresalesperson was unable to provide or even estimate the price of frames - every time I wanted to know the price, she would walk across the store to look it up in the system and shout the price to me. Most of the frames we looked at were coming in way beyond what I was looking to spend. I told the salesperson this and she proceeded to continue this price shouting process until we found a pair of frames that came in closer to my budget but looked nothing like what I had in mind. Over priced selection, poor customer service. I felt pressured to go ahead with the frame purchase just to get out of the store and end the uncomfortable interaction. I came back later in the day to ask for a refund and a different salesman had a bad attitude and rolled his eyes at me while issuing my refund.

They took the time to understand exactly what I was hoping for and guided me through choices that suited the style and spirit of the artwork. What meant the most to me was the care and respect they showed for the piece. Even though it was "just" a child's artwork, they treated it with the same thoughtfulness and attention you would give to a priceless masterpiece--which, to me, it is. The turnaround time was impressively quick, and the final result is absolutely beautiful. It's something I will treasure forever.

We stoped by as part of Gallery Night Providence and I had an opportunity to talk with the owners…read moreand shared that I come from a long line of artists and art lovers, in fact, my great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents have brought many of their items here over the years to be expertly matted and framed. I learned that this business had the distinction of being the oldest framing shop in the country dating back to the early 1900's and has remained a family run local business during this time. (Wow! That's impressive!) Initially based out of the Arcade in Downcity Providence, they moved to this location in the 1970's and have continued to expand over time. What you will find today are three massive floors filled with artwork, prints, drawings, ceramics, etc from great local artists in addition to their large framing area. They can handle all types of projects small or large and provide service and support both locally and out of state. They boast quality craftsmanship, lifetime guarantees on their work, and prices that are comparable to what you'd find from the big box chains that offer framing services (no coupon needed!) The difference is the years of knowledge and experience you get when choosing Providence Picture Frame as well as the good feeling you get knowing that you are helping a long time family run store stay in business for future generations. You'll also find friendly employees who care passionately about their business, their community, and helping the customer get exactly what they are looking for. Pro tips: Consider shopping in their gallery for unique and special birthday or holiday gifts. Not sure how to display that special photo, artwork, or sentimental item? Stop by to talk to them about their custom framing ideas and to preserve your one of a kind item for a lifetime.
