Beautiful framing! I've had 10 or 12 paintings framed, including watercolors and oils, and they're always beautiful.

I've been looking for someone to frame a beloved piece of street art for quite some time. I checked out online shops and Michaels and was shocked by the expense and long the process was anticipated to take. I happened upon this business and am THRILLED. Such a nice man, and he offered me an excellent price and frame consultation. Best of all, he texted me after just a few hours to say it was finished already! So happy! Recommended! read more

Art Deco1Hr Custom Framing - Gorgeous frame job on street art - Art Galleries Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I had a wonderful 5 star experience with Art Deco! The quality and value were exceptional. The turn around was quick, in time for me to mail my gifts for Christmas. I am so glad I found this gem of a frame store where the owner cared enough to make experience so special and did a beautiful job. I will be getting more things framed now that I have such an excellent custom framer who makes the experience a joy. Kristen read more

Absolutely fantastic; I always return to have my articles framed here. I have brought everything from huge prints to small items and always they are framed perfectly. I am a meticulous person, and everywhere I have always gone has been a disappointment EXCEPT at Art Deco. The owner is as meticulous as myself, with a professional eye for clarity, color and beauty--and that's the final product. He will never let you down. read more

I love this place for framing. I have brought probably 15 items here over the years, everything from mounting and framing to fixing broken glass and frames from moving. I once had a print I loved that had a crease in it. He somehow managed to make it invisible. You couldn't tell it had one when mounted and framed! He has a great eye for mattes. I actually let him pick them. My guests point out all his work in my home not knowing they come from the same framer. read more

I'm really surprised to see all of the positive reviews, because I had... probably the worst customer service experience of my life at Art Deco. If I could give 0 stars, I would. The full tale: I brought in an original watercolor painting to be framed. The owner was very nice, and I selected a frame, mat, and UV-protective glass (which he said he'd throw in at a discount). I'd never had anything custom framed, so the price (around $200, I think) didn't seem crazy. When I returned to pick up my piece, the owner had thrown in a disgusting-looking, bright orange double mat, which I had NOT picked out, just because he felt like it. In my shock, I took it home, but I hated it so much that I called another framer and asked if he could reframe it. The other framer, upon taking apart my supposedly high-end, custom frame from Art Deco, discovered that: 1). My original watercolor painting had been attached to the backing (a non-archival-quality scrap of foam core) with dirty scotch tape, 2). The materials were NOT acid-free and would have damaged my painting over time, 3). The glass was NOT UV-protective, and 4). I had been way, way overcharged given the quality of the job. The framer encouraged me to return to Art Deco and demand a refund. I went back to Art Deco and asked for a refund, carefully outlining the points above. The owner flew into, well, a rage. He screamed at me for almost an hour. First, he insisted that I was wrong and the materials were of exceptional quality, including the glass. When I proved that I could tell the difference between UV- and non-UV-protective glass, he backtracked and said that he never agreed to use UV-protective glass. When I showed him the scrap of foam core that my painting was (still) taped to (the painting itself also had dirty fingerprints on it), he tried to rip it off, and made fun of me when I (painstakingly) removed the painting from the backing myself (the scotch tape actually tore a bit of the painting). Several times, he said that it was a terrible painting and didn't "deserve" to be framed well because it "wasn't Picasso." He flat-out refused to give me my money back because it was "custom" (even though it was total bait-and-switch and wasn't what I ordered), told me I should be grateful for what I got, threatened me, and screamed sexist and racist epithets (including that he enjoys overcharging white people and thinks they deserve it, which is why his prices are so high. His words, not mine). After about an hour of this, he finally agreed to give me my money back and I got out of there. It was a very scary experience. Stay away from this guy. read more

This was my first time going to a frame shop and it was a great experience. The staff member was extremely friendly, helpful, and explained things at my pace. He was very knowledgable and found the balance of sharing his expertise of what would look best and listening to my thoughts and expectations. I am thoroughly content with the experience and the product! read more

I needed to have nine very old post cards framed in a nice manner for presentation as a house warming gift for my sister. The owner worked with me to develop how the cards would be laid out, what background, choosing the best matting and frame. Although it was just a few days before Christmas, he finished the project in less than two days, so I will be able to present it to my sister on Christmas Day. The end product looked terrific; I am certain she will be thrilled with it. Kept within the budget I had for the project. Also, he kept in touch by text to let me know when the product was ready. Would use again for sure. read more

I came here for one of my frames. The people were friendly, but they the end result wasnt satisfactory for me, and it was the total opposite of how i asked it to be. I wish they took the customer's words more seriously- i know im no artist and nothing close to it, but it is my frame. Took my project elsewhere and had a better experience. read more

Place has an eclectic selection of prints and framing. Definitely in the spirit of its name. I stumbled across this place after looking for a present in every shop I crossed from the torpedo factory on my way towards the King Street Metro station (incidentally this shop is walking distance from there). The gentleman was enthusiastically helpful and was able to custom frame my selection while I ate dinner at a nearby restaurant. The quality of the work is exceptional, and the customer service was second to none. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who has a Art Deco taste in prints or even just needs something framed (especially if in a hurry). read more

I've had a couple of prints framed here, and am extremely satisfied with the work. The man (I feel awful because I don't know his name!) is extraordinarily nice and helpful. My first print was a 18"x 35", and was framed un-matted with a plain black frame. That was $110. I went in to get a second print (22" x 22") framed with a brushed metal frame and matting, and that was $160. The second time around, he gave me advice on color selection of the matte as to not detract from the artwork, and it came out beautifully. Both times, I came to pick up exactly after 1 week and they both were ready and he wrapped them all up before I took them with me. To be completely honest, after the first time I tried to hunt around groupon/similar sites for a framing deal. But when I looked at the shops offering those deals, and the reviews, it was clear people were having to pay way more $$$ than I had at Art Deco even with those coupons. I came back here, and I'm glad I did. I'll definitely be coming in for all future framing. He also has a lot of prints and framed art at the shop for purchase as well. Framing is never cheap, but Art Deco is honest, efficient, and has competitive pricing. read more
