When I was a kid living in New Mexico, my mom bought a piece of art from a man in Old Town…read moreAlbuquerque. I remember her buying it with such pride and then taking it to get framed- it was the first time I realized people valued art in that way. She kept it all these years, and just three years ago it came to me. Recently I brought it to The Custom Framer in Highland Park to be re-matted and reframed. From the moment I walked in, I felt comfortable asking questions, even with my lack of design knowledge. The process was thoughtful, supportive, and deeply meaningful. This isn't just about framing art--it's about framing memories. I'll treasure this piece in my home and someday pass it to my kids. Highly recommend.

I had a piece that mother made in the late 40's.

My mother made a display piece for NBC which has survived for over 80 years and was severely damaged. My mom was considered a pioneer for women in commercial art during the "madmen" era, and her work is significant. I wanted it restored by museum quality are specialists. I found them at the Antique & Art Restoration center. The piece looked like it might be beyond repair, but Igor made it look like new repairing damage and restoring the original colors. He then prepared it for display in a sturdy canvas board. The work he did was brilliant. He did my mother's work justice. I can't say enough nice things about this company. They are EXCELLENT!

It is a very unique black boy doll and clearly of historical value. Somehow, it got damaged. When I learned that the family decided the doll should go to the local library, I panicked. Igor immediately figured out how it had been damaged (loose parakeets!) and was able to seamlessly fix the damage. Like nothing ever happened. He was also able to identify newer clothes on the doll by fabric weight. A true archaeologist. Worth every penny. I would trust the crown jewels to Igor.

Art Store Gallery II is my "go to" place for framing. I have been a loyal customer for over a…read moredecade because of Kathyrn Mayberry (manager). Kathyrn has a keen eye and she always selects the perfect frame, mat, etc. I trust her judgement 100% and I rarely find someone whose judgement I trust that completely. Art Store Gallery has an extensive selection of quality frames and the service is top notch. They do archival quality work. While Kathryn selects a few frames that would go well with my piece, whether it be a photograph, painting, sketch, etc., her first choice is always what I end up selecting because she has the best taste. The prices are competitive and I have never been disappointed in the final product. You can entrust them to take good care of your artwork.

I took my heirloom candlesticks to Mr. Dirilen. They were tarnished, crooked and broken in places…read more He was honest with me about what they were worth and what it would cost to fix them up to new. Then he asked me if they were precious to me. When I said, "Yes," he told me to go ahead and fix them. He also told me it was going to take a while, more than a month or six weeks. I left the candlesticks with him. In the process, we had a wonderful conversation about our own origins and the commonalities. A couple of months went by and I got the call from Mrs. Dirilen that the candlesticks were ready. I was floored by how they looked. Perfect and shining and lacquered. I was thrilled! I'm looking around my home to see what else I can bring to them!

I was referred to Guenther Gallery And Design by a world renowned photographer for large prints to…read morebe printed and museum quality matte and framing. What I like most about Guenther Gallery And Design: This is a family owned business. The family treats all customers with kindness and professionalism until the end of your transaction. Specifically what I will be going back for is: personalized treatment, educated opinions about a frame, matte, glass, print quality and even answers to shipment internationally. They also do not try and up-sell the customer. I recently sold one of my prints to a museum for their permanent collection. I believe Guenther Gallery And Design was a large part of the transaction because my print quality, matte and frame were perfectly finished. Thank you Guenther Gallery!

I came back with my adult daughter for a fused art class, and Evelina welcomed everyone with wine and appetizers and an explanation of how to make art. There were bins of colored glass in many shapes and sizes to play with. She spent extra time with my daughter who was having trouble letting her creative side out. They made a glass dish together that everyone compliments. Then Jessie began to play with shapes and colors to make a few other pieces. Her confidence came out! I get compliments on the art pendants I created, too. I'll be bringing more friends with me next time!

When a friend recently showed me a gorgeous painting she had purchased here I decided to stop in to look for a space I've been looking to fill in my family room. Cynthia could not have been sweeter and after seeing a picture of the space showed me a bunch of paintings that could work. She has so much gorgeous art in this gallery, but I especially liked Amie Campbell's work. She photoshopped a few of my favorite pieces into the room and while I loved the artwork, I didn't think they were quite right for the space. I"m continuing to search for the perfect piece for this particular room, but I'll definitely be back to look for future artwork needs.
