In addition to suggesting beautiful frames/matting for every piece (new & old), he did an amazing job caring for the heirloom pieces. He made sure hand-written inscriptions, titles, and artists' signatures were preserved and displayed in a way that was tasteful and complementary to the piece. I will be taking another round to him shortly. Highly recommend.

The owner, Brian Farrell, is not only extremely kind and attentive, he also has one of the best eyes for quality art that I have ever seen.

There is also enough of a range in price points that almost anyone will be able to find something here that can fit into their budget. It is always a pleasure to come in to this gallery.

We are really glad we stopped in and I am sure we will be back in the future.
