Chelsea Frames - Egyptian artwork - Framing Near Me - New York, New York

Flawless and worth every penny! I just got back 20 works of art from Chelsea Frames and they look stunning! The frames really elevate the artworks. Reid is so knowledgeable and thorough, and he really guided me through the process. At first he suggested a elegant modern frame for one piece, but when I asked to see something a little unexpected, he rose to the challenge and brought out something truly stunning. For another, he suggested a frame I never would have picked out, and it really made the photo sing. He saw to every detail and delivered everything on time. When you pay for custom frames, the details really matter, and Chelsea Frames knocked it out of the park! read more

I collect vintage movie posters, some of which can be in very rough condition. These are also one-of-a-kind, so they are large and very fragile--not the best combination to handle. Chelsea Frames has my complete confidence. I trust their work over other places I've checked out. As to the quality of their work, Chelsea Frames has done excellent restoration, linen-backing, and framing work with these delicate posters. For the amount of work, the price is reasonable. As to customer service, I've had wonderful experiences. They've always taken their time, showing me numerous options and giving me feedback, always without any negative or 'put upon' attitude. I have never felt rushed. I always leave feeling like I know all my options and my fragile movie posters are in trustworthy hands. If you want high-quality framing for a valued piece, I recommend you give Chelsea Frames a chance. I'm very happy I did! read more

If you are in the market for a new frame, or new artwork, for your ownership then this is the time to kook at a good market. One I do recommend is the CHELSEA FRAMES shop on West 23rd here in New York. It is a really good shop to visit and spend time to look on what would be needed. No matter the size, the shape, the color, the professional level or more, this is a good place to be. Either bring your art with you, or look for a new items there, This is a good place to be. Talk to the team and consider the options you might have at that time. I have done it before when I would visit. And with the collection I have, I am always looking for a new piece to create and enhance the work. Chelsea Frames is prepared to assist you in what you might need now, or in the time to come. Create a better home for the art work, and have Chelsea Frames help you to make it happen. read more

Chelsea Frames on 9th Avenue and the Store Owner, Daniel, did truly beautiful framing work for our 9/11 Museum Workshop in the Meatpacking District as well as for 9/11 Charitable Benefits from 2002 to 2010. Beautiful, clean, upscale work and a beautiful store. The staff is professional and reliable and the work ranks as one of the tops in New York City. Quality frames and matting, many types of finished wood to choose from also - highly recommended!! (see attached images of their work) read more

Staff completely indifferent. Prices WAY above market. Quality of work average (had to have one piece redone because they didn't put anything on the back of the metal frame and it scratched the wall). They admitted they forgot to put the cushions (or whatever they're called) on the back. They were not, however, the least bit apologetic. Not sure why this place gets so many great reviews; perhaps the staff gives better customer service to gallery owners and not the average bear. There are plenty of framing places in the neighborhood, I suggest going somewhere else. read more

I could not be happier with the finished products that I leave Chelsea Frames with. Jaclyn and her staff are wonderful, and I always feel so welcome when I walk in there (especially if Kiwi is on the premises). The selection is huge, and you can always find something that you will like. I never feel rushed or like I'm being a hassle when I try thirty different matting and framing choices on a piece. I could not recommend a better place to get your framing done than here! read more

Chelsea Frames - A painting that I had framed by Chelsea Frames - Framing Near Me - New York, New York

Great job with framing some adhoc prints my boyfriend had collected over the years. I surprised my boyfriend with the framing and I'm so glad I trusted Chelsea Frames. I did not notice that the artwork had a message to him on the back of the prints. Thankfully the attentive staff did and they included a pocket window in the back of the frame so we can still see the artists dedication. Thank you for your care and attention! read more

As a gallery of fine art, we take the quality of the frames we place not only on our walls, but in the homes of our clients very seriously. It is for this reason that we are always extremely pleased with the consistent attention to detail, impeccable customer service, and well priced framing solutions provided by the team at Chelsea Frames. During one of our recent exhibitions, we had several of our pieces re-framed with the guidance of the Chelsea Frames team, and every single piece was highly complemented at the time of purchasing by our clients. We are very happy to have such a reliable source for quality framing in the neighborhood and we look forward to working together for years to come. -The Sato Sakura Gallery Team read more

While the prices might make you reconsider just how much you want that print framed after all, the service, plentiful framing choices, attention to detail, and the quality will make it worth the hole in the wallet. read more

They committed to having an important order ready and failed to deliver on time. Unfortunately, they offered no acceptable resolution and their general attitude was "oh well". I would never do business with them again. Buyer beware... read more

Well, I don't know what made Tim S write a review like that for Chelsea Frames? all of my experiences here have been great! 125% customer service. I ran in there with a cracked frame, I needed it fixed a.s.a.p for an opening, the red head was extremely helpful and understanding. They fixed the frame as quickly as they could, they are super busy, everyone I know goes to Chelsea Frames. The quality is also worth everyone penny! the staff takes their time with each client and the results have always been superb for me! read more

Great ambience and very helpful staff . We went here for New Year's Eve it was fantastic experience

I've gone here for a number of projects and their work is always impeccable. They stick to the budget and timeline that they estimate. It is definitely expensive (hence the 4 stars) but they have a great eye and can make a piece look like it's worth a million dollars, even if it was from a flea market! read more

Everyone at Chelsea Frames was extremely kind and helpful. I needed the hardware on a heavy mirror shipped to me from Morocco changed and they do so on the spot and so efficiently! It was a uniquely pleasant experience. read more

Excellent quality and customer service. Attention to detail is very high. I had a piece done here a couple weeks ago and it was near perfect. The one minor flaw bothered me so I took it back asking for a possible solution. It was more a flaw with the art than frame, but they fixed it free of charge. It was pricey to begin with but ultimately well worth it. Highly recommend for best in class quality. read more

Absolutely impeccable, do not go anywhere else in NYC. The proprietor Daniel designs and produces beautiful and unique frames that are works of art in themselves. He is brilliant at matching a frame style with a piece, and I have handed over several pieces to him to do what he thinks is best, and they have come back looking even better than I could have hoped for. Friendly, beyond knowledgeable and really, really good eye, I can't imagine a better experience. read more

I have never had such RUDE service. Despite being the only customer when I entered the store, I was abruptly told by the red headed hag working the desk that they were too busy to assist me and that I should return at another time. Seriously??? I had heard horrible things about this store from multiple sources, but based on my own personal experience, there are plenty of other framers in NYC that provide helpful and courteous service. read more

Terrible service, absurd price. They told me they would dry-mount a newspaper article - I signed a WAIVER - then refused to do so, simply framing a wrinkly mess. Blick did an identical job (I needed multiples) for half the price in half the time at double the quality. Never again. read more

They are super helpful! I previously lived in the building and got a new painting that needed to be stretched on wood and they did an amazing job. Also when I was moving they offered to wrap out paintings so they would not get ruined and did a great job. The owner is great and will always go back. read more

I've had many, many pieces framed here over the years, from an enormous poster to a small etching. Each salesperson has taken the time to help me choose a frame, mat, and glass that are suitable for each piece. I've also been referred to an excellent paper restorer through Chelsea Frames and he does marvelous work. The frame selection is unbeatable and all my framed pieces look fabulous in my apartment--I always get lots of compliments. It's not the cheapest place but you get what you pay for. Service has always been professional and I've never felt unwelcome. Don't know what the naysayers here are talking about... read more

Chelsea Frames did excellent, museum quality work framing a number of pieces for me 2 years ago. I have been rotating the collection and when I took one of the pieces out of storage, a screw popped out inside the frame, cuasing the frame to gently undo itself. I brought the frame to the store and even though it was 2 years later, no questions were asked - they reframed the piece. Bravo!. read more

Tried many framing places, most of them cheaper, at the end no other framer delivers the same quality, service and warranty. But like I said, it comes with a price, although in my opinion better than having your art badly handled. read more

I can't say enough good things about Chelsea Frames. I had a very special portrait framed here and had an excellent experience choosing the best frame and matting for the photo. When some of the matting became warped a year later (potentially because of my movers' negligence), I called Jaclyn and she had the portrait picked up the next day from my apartment and fixed it very quickly at no charge. Excellent customer service and style! I recommend highly. read more

Besides the pricing bordering on grossly overpriced, I placed an order and paid in full at 4:30 pm on a Sunday before closing and called as they opened on Monday morning to hold the order, "please do not do anything as the order is being reconsidered" they did nothing more than write a receipt, the order was subsequently cancelled later on that week. The manager even called me the week I placed the order and told me no problem they will cancel the order and credit back my card BUT she failed to mention she was charging me $155 to cancel the order...not very NICE! All around Not to be Recommended! read more

We are very pleased with the poster they shrink-wrapped for us. They treated us and our "little" job with such care and respect, and that is not common today. They are really terrific. The best customer service I've seen in years! Thank you again. read more

I've had several pieces framed here and I've always had a good experience. They always seem to find the perfect frame to match whatever I bring in, from random homemade art pieces to photographs to expensive purchased pieces of art. I love that the place is locally and women-owned. Most of the people I've worked with there have been professional, creative, and friendly. The owner's dog is often in the store and is totally adorable. Love this place. read more
