It had been framed for decades in cheap non-archival material and everything that had been under the matte had been "burned." Victor and (I think) his wife talked with me in depth about how they would cut the new matte so that it would preserve the piece going forward but also not reveal any of the burning. They totally came through, and the new frame is gorgeous as well. Thank you!

Upon further reflection, it would not be a stretch to posit it might could be the best frame shop in North America. And, if you are willing to come that far with me, then it stands to reason that it must be the best frame shop on the planet because, well, It's common knowledge and a well accepted fact that everything is better in the USA - even beer nowadays... So welcome to the best little frame shop in the Milky Way galaxy. And now that's out of the way, let's talk about the family side of the business. John, the original owner was a peach of a man. Always looking up from whatever he was doing to offer his full attention and guidance. He was so good that, after a few projects, I'd just call him and tell him what I needed and what room it was for and he'd take it from there. When I learned that John had passed away unexpectedly, I knew Charlottesville had lost a true artisan and friend. What I didn't know was that his son Billy is every bit as good (if not a wee bit better). Same great spirit, same great work, and a pure delight to be around.

While I had an idea of what I wanted, I needed help in selecting the right look. My parents had used this framer in the past, so I gave them a call to schedule a consultation appointment (I believe you can also do this via their website) and took my items into the shop. Note, they are following COVID prevention guidance - face masks must be worn, social distancing in the store, limited appointments, hand sanitizer, and partitions between you and the staff member. After I arrived, the staff member viewed the items to be framed and asked me if I had anything in particular in mind regarding framing. Then she pulled together several mats/frames for me to view. It was impressive how she pulled what I was envisioning, but with her expertise took it a step further to make it perfect. I was thrilled with everything. And, I was even more thrilled with the price being within my budget. Since I was getting ready to move, they quickly worked to get everything completed within my timeframe and were kind enough to securely wrap the items. They will email you when your items are ready and you can pick up in shop or by curbside pick up. So easy. I am excited to have a go to frame shop that is not only affordable, but makes my artwork be best presented. Plus they have pre-made or assemble yourself frames available should I need something quick. I can't wait to get to my new home and hang everything! Cheers!
