I was here to get three large pieces framed about 7/8 years ago. Awal did an excellent job then. I…read morewas very satisfied with the high quality and attention to detail. I recently purchased three additional pieces from travels to Europe and one piece I obtained from Nigeria. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my artwork. Awal is a good businessman. Kind, detailed and focused on helping you get the best frame a a great price for the quality. All framing is done in the shop, therefore the turnaround time is very good. My frames will be ready in under a week! I totally recommend Old City Art and Framing above any other business in the Philadelphia area.

I had a special document framed here as a gift for my partner and am thrilled with the outcome! I…read morehave never had anything framed so this was all new to me. The people who work there are very professional, friendly and do quality work. I didn't feel intimidated going in which is important to me. They showed me some options that they thought would work nicely with the document and gave me a quote for the work. They ended up picking out a frame/matting that worked perfectly with the document and it looks amazing! Framing is expensive but I don't feel that what I paid was too much by any means. I am very impressed with them overall! Next time I need something framed I will definitely go back to them. You can trust them to give you a fair price and high quality work. You will not be disappointed!

First off, I priced this job at two other establishments in my neighborhood. In one case, the price…read more- right on the same street - was double. So there is truth in the name Frugal Frames. More importantly, the person I dealt with took time, had patience, shared helpful information about the job and helped me choose a frame that looked good and complimented the painting's colors. When I got it home, my spouse thought the framing actually enhanced the painting. You know, you sort of take a chance with a first framing job. You wonder how it will turn out. All I can say is I was entirely satisfied and I wouldn't hesitate to bring other work to be framed.

I was gifted an original artwork from India that arrived mailed rolled up in a tube. I have never…read morehad anything professionally framed before but felt like this piece was special enough that it deserved more than my typical ikea diy projects. My original consultation was a fantastic experience, where I was guided through each decision of frame, mat, glass, etc with patience, expertise, and care. I was shown examples of what each choice would look like and there were a wide variety of options for frames. I left feeling like I made the perfect choices in consideration of my aesthetic, budget, and investment in this piece. It was considerably more money than if I had gone to IKEA but I also understood with the fine craftsmanship and expertise of the staff that the price was worth it. When I went to pick it up a few weeks later, it was exactly what I had hoped for. I was able to speak directly with the person who framed the work, who was different from my original consultation, and was thoroughly guided through their process. The piece looks beautiful and I would highly recommend this store for anyone looking to invest in personalized, beautifully crafted framing.

She gives her expert opinion on frame colors and mat sizes if they're needed, and I never feel pressured to buy the most expensive option. She even offered some a discounted option if I chose some leftover framing she had laying around. If you're looking for a great framer, go see Wendy and her team.

This is a top-notch place with incredible customer service and high-quality work, all at a…read morereasonable price! I have had 3 original art pieces framed here and I couldn't be happier. The most recent experience with Seven Arts deserves special recognition. An error in frame ordering delayed the arrival of the frame. However, upon learning of this, the group called me to explain what had happened and apologize for the error. They put a rush on the frame (at their expense) and the delay only ended up being 48 hours. When the project was completed, the owner learned that I was working all day and wouldn't be able to make it to the store to pick up the finished product, so he personally delivered it to me at work. I couldn't be happier with the work this group does and while I'm currently on a pause from purchasing anymore art work, any future pieces will definitely be framed at Seven Arts Framing.

Wanted to get something pretty nice framed. Talked to people at the Silicon Gallery Fine Art Prints…read moreand they recommended this place. It's a bit pricey, but it's clear that these people know what they are doing and will do the best possible job. So....if you have a Justin Bieber poster you won at the state fair go somewhere else and get that done cheap. But if you have something nice that needs to be professionally framed this is the place to go. Tip: there is likely a 1 to 2 week turn-around time so plan ahead!

A rude, condescending woman, beware. She lost out on thousands of dollars of business from me for…read moreher utter lack of professionalism. I know exactly what I need in terms of framing, I don't require suggestions, a general estimate would have been very easy to make had you have actually wanted to be of service. You told me all I needed to know about you from the way you spoke on the phone, insult after insult. Despicable. I would never step foot in your business because you are unprofessional, long day or not.

We've been going to Ursula for framing on all manner of things for years. Her reputation is…read moreexcellent, which is how we found her in the first place. She's so nice about it, even when I bring in some completely stupid or bad-taste item, she never lets on in the least that she might wonder what's with that. I've had some collectible print materials framed, and she immediately recommended the anti-UV glass to prevent fading - something I might not have thought of had I done it myself. One of her most impressive projects was framing a silk print, suspending it between two sheets of glass so that both sides can be viewed by flipping it over and rehanging. If you haven't seen her videos on how to hang framed items on the wall, check them out. Very good practical advice, and I learned that I had been routinely hanging items too high (that's the problem with being tall) for many years. Call and make an appointment to see her though, don't just drop in.

Having previously used major retail outlets for framing, I wanted to give a local business a shot…read more Based on previous Yelp reviews and geographic convenience, I landed on Fairmount Framing. My experience was fairly brief but satisfying (that's what she said). My husband and I were serviced within 20 minutes. This included consultation on framing and type of glass. The owner has a keen eye for what looks good. We had our own ideas in mind, but he made a few suggestions to enhance the matting colors and frame selection. We weren't the only customers in the store, but he was able to work with each group simultaneously, but not disruptively for either group. Not being in a rush, the estimated ready date of under three weeks from drop off sounded perfect. The frames was ready as scheduled. As others noted, the prices were market standard. Ultimately, my posters came out beautifully framed and I was able to support a local business. Picture perfect.

I had a fantastic…read moreexperience printing with Chris for my wedding invitations 7 years ago, but this review is centered around the latest job we worked on together during the pandemic. I needed 900 multi-piece screen printed invitations on a tight timeline, so once again I reached out to Chris. He pulled off the job flawlessly during a historically tumultuous time, and during the holiday season to boot. Once again he offered fast and thorough estimates, easy communication, great creative collaboration and a chill disposition. He even finished up the job early and did his best to ensure all pieces shipped safely from Philly to San Francisco. Everything came out perfect, on schedule and the client was thrilled! Thanks for the stellar work Chris!

Buyer beware! Don't get printing done here!…read more I ordered grey business cards printed with white ink. Chris picked the paper and approved the artwork. I didn't get a proof and received grey cards with green-grey ink, gross. They looked horrible! I contacted Chris, and he said he would reprint them, but there was no way to get ink that would look white with the paper he picked. So why did he pick that paper out of hundreds of options!? Did he offer me a different paper? Nope. He just continued to argue with me in long emails, so I opened a case with Paypal. I order the same cards from a different press for half the price and received a proof that looks great. I'm sure he will post a lengthy reply to this which should evidence how frustrating it is to work with him.
