I have seen and heard about Merritt Gallery since I moved to the area about year ago, but this was my first time going inside. It is an impressive, contemporary space with a very wide selection of art including wall and free-standing sculpture. When asked for prices the range was quite wide from $900 to $50,000 (yes, $50k). Given some of the pieces displayed and artists represented I imagine that range goes well beyond $50k as names like Picasso, Matisse, and Warhol come up on their website. The gallery has three locations and represents around 175 artists meaning that what you see in store is only a very small sampling of their actual collection. Though I always am looking for new pieces for my collection, today I went in to have a small print framed. Caitlin, one of their consultants, ably showed me an incredible selection of frames ranging from contemporary to hand-carved, hand-detailed wooden frames worthy of the Louvre and works of art in and of themselves. Having chosen to forgo a mat (not needed with this piece) and a fairly simple thin frame, the price caught me off guard: $216. While the financial part of my brain said "no!" the artistic side said "give it a try." I paid the fee and was told my print would be ready in about two weeks. Caitlin offered to have it delivered to me and installed which I may take them up on. Conclusions: Merritt is a great gallery and framing shop. The price lowers my rating to 4.5 stars (I'm a budget conscious art collector). The only issue I had was when Caitlin and I went upstairs to figure out my invoice she left my print exposed on a framing table. I didn't think much about it till I had left, but I wonder when/if someone went down and secured the print from damage. This lowers my ranking to 4 stars. Otherwise a good experience. read more

my husband and i just moved from an apartment into a house and needed new artwork to fill up the extra space. i had been to the merritt young gallery in ardmore, and found out that they just opened a new gallery in haverford, just called merritt gallery. i talked to one of the consultants, marcie, and made an appointment with her to bring artwork to my house! it's one thing to see the art in the gallery, but the fact that she brought it to my house really let me see the possibilities! marcie was really helpful and has a creative eye. she was able to suggest paintings that i originally wasn't so sure about, but now that they're here, we absolutely love them!!! read more

Called to get some information and the woman who answered the phone was unprofessional and unhelpful. Someone should send her to training classes in how to interact gracefully with the public. I will not think to use them in the future or recommend them to anyone. I could not assign even 1 star but had to do so to have this review recognized. read more

When I moved into my shore house, I decorated, though had no artwork. Merrit Gallery was a one stop shop. They had tons of French Posters, and with the Director, Carla- we were a smashing success. The beautiful Carla helped me select great pieces and kept me onbudget. Although she has magnificent hand carved frames, she helped me to choose regular ones that gave the same feeling, at a fraction of the cost. And then she brought the finished art to our home at the shore, and helped us select the perfect places to hang them. A wonderful experience, and the results are better than I could have imagined. Highly recommend. read more
