With so few reviews of framing shops in Amsterdam, I felt like choosing was a shot in the dark, but…read moreI'm thrilled that I got lucky with Jollijst -- and so had to share my experience, in hopes of helping others navigate these waters. I took two very large photographs and a magazine cover in to get framed, and the very knowledgeable young man who helped me spent so much time carefully studying the images and giving me many options for each. I wound up choosing metal frames for each of the photos -- one very slimline/low profile and the other a larger/heavier brushed steel that perfectly matched the artwork -- and a lovely weathered wood frame with a bright white matte surrounding the magazine cover. About 10 days later, I picked up three beautifully framed pieces for a very reasonable price. (We're not talking buy-a-frame-at-IKEA prices, but you get what you pay for!) I know I'll be a repeat customer; go here with confidence!

Lovely…read moreselection of oils, acrylics and canvas, including many colors of Old Holland oils I had not seen before in US. Makes sense because several great paint brands come from the Netherlands. Van Beek has a framing store and design art store as well. Both are nearby. We were just visiting the city, so found some tiny canvases that were perfect for creating art while traveling. Staff was friendly and speaks English, everything was very well organized and easy to find.
