I am so glad I did. He's one of the best photographers I've worked with quality-wise plus he is genuinely hilarious. Eddie brought out my authentic smiles and brought out my best facial expressions. He made it so effortless for me, as I'm someone who has no clue how to pose and tend to get stiff on camera. I love the photo results and have already started showing off to friends, family, and of course LinkedIn.

I purchased a painting that was shipped from France and arrived in, well, not the best condition…read more Not only did this team ensure there was no mold on the canvas (I'm sensitive to it) but they saw that someone had done a bad job touching up bits of the painting and some pieces of paint were missing entirely. They restored it completely and gorgeously. They then surprised me with a lengthy report about the process with pictures of the work along the way. I was thoroughly impressed. I think we've all grown accustomed to shoddy service in so many realms. Not here. Last week when I was about to import another piece but had questions about it from afar, they were happy to look at it and make recommendations, assured me that it looked in good quality but was surely on paper instead of canvas. The artist is now painting us a new one on canvas. We're thrilled! I can't recommend these guys enough for restoration or even just pre purchase consulting, ensuring you've got the right matting ... anything, and probably more.

Note: This review is based solely on my consultation process…read more Chris is a rare gem! I reached out to Chris about an old painting of mine with significant sentimental value. He was incredibly professional, honest, and thoughtful. He took the time to review photos, ask questions, and even conducted his own research on the artist and market value - this totally surprised me in the best way possible. I can tell Chris is an upstanding and deeply considerate professional. His expert advice truly put my mind at ease. For now, I'm pausing on the restoration, but I'm looking into refreshing the framing per his suggestion. He even recommended a framing specialist he trusts nearby where I live, which was such a sweet surprise. It's rare to find someone so knowledgeable who leads with such grounded transparency, especially when art can be so emotional. Chris really cares about the time and effort involved for everyone. There are a lot of great reviews on here, but I wanted to really speak to his KINDNESS just from our initial interactions. I'll definitely be returning to him when I'm ready to move forward with conservation!

We have used Richard Sumner Frames twice. The first time was great, although eye-wateringly…read moreexpensive. The second time was a horrendous experience. They can frame things beautifully and really elevate prints, paintings, and other artwork. We were really impressed with the matting, the backdrops, etc. for the first batch of frames. This earns them two stars instead of one. The second batch was two frames, roughly 24" x 30", and totaled $2084.00 which is an absurd sum for frames, at least if you ask me. However, we were really excited about these specific pieces and sort of got "suckered" into paying a premium because that's apparently what good framing costs these days . . although we'll soon be finding other sources to see if that's true. Regardless, here is the timeline of events: Oct 4: Art is dropped off, deposit paid Oct 22: Frames are ready. One frame has a visible chip in the wood, with missing material. It's about 3/8" long and 1/8" deep, clearly visible on the front of the frame where the corners meet. I notify the owner that I'm not happy with it and he agrees to fix it. I bring the first piece home. Oct 28: The second frame is ready. I go to pick it up and see that there is wood filler in the chip. The frame is wooden, with wood grain, and the wood filler is a solid color and immediately visible from the front. The wood filler is also soft to the touch. I once again notify the owner that I'm not happy with it. Nov 23: The second frame is ready, again. The wood filler has dried, he assures me. It still looks terrible. I make it clear that for $1,000 apiece, these had better look perfect. Even better would be having a perfect frame the first time! Or the second time! Or even the third time! He agrees to remake this frame, which is what he should have done in the first place. Dec 12: The second frame is ready, completely remade this time. It looks great. He charges me full price and I bite my tongue so that I don't say something I regret. I pay and leave to close this chapter as quickly as possible. I get home and hang the second piece next to the first and (to add insult to injury) I find that the wires are not the same height/tension and the pieces don't sit at the same height. What a joke! Overall, very disappointing customer service and standards - combined with extraordinary prices - means this business is not for me.

I've entrusted many pieces of art to Mahmut at Richard Sumner Frames, both my own work and pieces…read moreI've collected over the years and he consistently brings each one to life in a way that feels truly complete. My artwork can be complex to frame, but Mahmut is an artisan in his own right. He takes great care with each individual piece, ensuring the framing supports and complements the art without ever overpowering it. The result is always classic, always timeless. As if that weren't enough, he's a pleasure to work with, and the only framer I trust.

Damaged Art? Antiques? Call SF Art Conservation today!!! Our…read moreart gallery was in the middle of the 2017 Fires in Sonoma County. Most pieces had severe smoke damage including antiques that were in pretty bad shape. The level of professionalism at SF Art Conservation put us at ease.

This is a wonderful place with a warm and friendly staff (I was working with Rowan) who made me feel confident to leave my art piece in their care. They described, in detail, how they were going to repair and conserve the piece, as well as how much it was going to cost up front (no surprises). They also showed me art pieces they were currently working on; they had some amazing art in their workshop! If you have an art piece that needs attention, I would truly recommend SF Art Conservation. Many thanks to Rowan and staff for their wonderful and professional help! I look forward to bringing other artwork (which needs conservation) to them in the future.

Lina carefully restored my Father's 65 year old paper/pencil drawing which had severe water stains and the drawing now looks as if it was drawn today. She is obviously fully aware of how far to only go on a work as to retain the originality and yet restore the work as best as her professional abilities will allow. She even arrived to my home for the initial consultation and pickup of the work and due to my scheduling, she later arrived at my pet's Veterinarian's clinic to drop off the finished work. I highly recommend Lina and the museums should be aware of her caring services for any paper conservation.
