Thanks to the NYC Frames team for framing a painting for my family! After an initial planning…read morevisit, we were able to schedule a time to bring it in and have it framed in a specific way (the art wasn't centered on the piece of paper, and we wanted a larger mat to avoid cutting the original piece of paper.) The same-day framing appointment was helpful because it has sentimental value, and we really appreciated not having to leave the painting at the shop (although plenty of paintings were stored for safekeeping / framing there). It was also super cool to watch Joe and his team do the measurements, mat and glass cutting, and frame assembly by hand with specialized tools. Really happy with the result and appreciate the time and care from this framing team! Would definitely recommend!

After exploring a handful of frame studios in Manhattan, I found Jimmy, and I feel so lucky to work…read morewith him. I'm a visual artist, and Jimmy and his team have framed all my hand-pulled silkscreen pieces. He knows the art world well, having owned a gallery/frame studio in the Upper West Side before focusing specifically on framing. If there are any issues with frames, Jimmy is always understanding and does what he can to rectify them. The photos below include pieces that are all custom-framed by Jimmy and his team. Anti-glare / UV-protected acrylic, with white matting, all-black frames, and always acid-free. Don't overlook Jimmy and his team when looking for custom framing.

I couldn't be more disappointed. I had a simple small orignal painting that does not lay entriely…read moreflat. I needed a simple mat. Jimmy tried to talk me into a double mat and then pretended that I didn't understand what he was saying while he made the double part an extra back. I asked how he would attach the painting and he said not to worry. He attached it in two spots at the top so that the bottom curls up. I'm an artist. I usually do this kind of thing myself. I'll use acid free photo corners to secure the painting - something I expect a profssional to do. I also asked for the bottom of the mat to be wider than the top and sides so the finished product would be a rectangle. He couldn't be bothered with that so I have a square. Making the bottom wider is a standard system. I didn't ask for a fix as I was so insulted by my first encounter where he played that I didn't understand English. Probably he's good if you're not familiar with framing and go with his direction but not if you have an idea of what you want. There are other framers in the neighborhood.

Just want to give a long overdue shout out to Ethan. I brought him a piece of artwork that was very…read moreimportant to our family. The painting was heavy paint on paper and the paper that was rolling and yellowing from exposure. Ethan created a frame that protected the piece while at the same time honored how the artist wanted his art framed. Ethan was patient, did research and consulted with his other experts. We are so happy with the piece now and know that it will last for generations to come. I highly recommend Bark Frameworks.

Unfortunately I'm giving three stars purely because of the price! I came here to get something…read moreframed, and the cheapest frame was $500. I said I was willing to have a conversation over the phone but they requested an in person appointment. It would've been helpful to have that info over the phone so I didn't waste their time! However, the woman I worked with was so kind and understanding. She even put my piece in foam cor, since I didn't have it protected when I brought it in. That was super nice and not expected! This shop is more specifically for frames for "preservation" I was told when I went. Just good to know it's not necessarily for every day framing or even for nice pieces (at least not for me!). I appreciate their kindness though and I'm sure they do a great job!

The shop owner was super friendly and worked with me to find the best frames to make the items pop more. After everything was picked out, I was ready for a hefty estimate. I've gotten a couple pieces similar to this framed in Midtown for around $250, so I was expecting it to be close to that. However, he told me it was $94 and I was ecstatic! The wait time was around 2 weeks (including Thanksgiving weekend), so no complaints there. The finished product was awesome too, I loved it. Would definitely come back here to get more work done in the future.
