You can trust him with your most valuable art. He specializes in restoration. But he is just as willing to help you with "just for fun" pieces. Framing is costly but he is mindful to balance any project with the right framing approach depending on the moment. Excellent work on shadow boxes too!

Some of the ornate frame had fallen apart and was cracked not to mention the backing was falling apart due to its age -- It is now perfect!

He made me feel so comfortable leaving my family heirloom in his care. 10/10 . GREAT JOB!!

The 'not so great' frame up in Northbrook should be avoided. I've been going to other locations…read morefor years and was always happy with the service. I had two orders at this location and the first order was misplaced or lost by Andy for a week or so. Ok, accidents happen - I figured they'd find it. They did eventually. but Andy was SO RUDE on the phone. Second order was a triptych. 3 pieces in 3 frames. I showed Cheryl a picture of the finished 3 pieces as I wanted them framed. When I went to pick it up, they insisted I gave them one piece. I'm not sure how they managed to mess both orders up, but I had a heated call with Cheryl who just kept saying they never lose anything and that there was only one piece. A few days later, and no call, I decided to disassemble the frame and use it for something else. and - there they were.....They had stacked all 3 pieces as one in the frame. Don't bother with this place - I went 5 minutes down the road to Artist Frame Service. They were professional and didgreat work!

I've been a repeat costumer not only for my personal projects but very often for my company. I called to ask a question, actually I asked to speak to Cheryl (a woman who works there who is absolutely wonderful), but she wasn't there today--unfortunately. The man answering the phone asked if he could take a message, and in turn I said, well maybe you can help me, I have a question.... he said, "Sigh, Ill have to take your number down and call you back, I am the only person in the store today, and have a shop full of customers" in the rudest, most unprofessional tone possible. I stated I was a customer too and hung up. I thought, ok...fine, you don't want my business... that is your decision. Honestly I do like the work I've gotten done here, and the prices are fair (at times), but if you are going to go to this location make sure one of the wonderfully kind women at this shop are there before you risk dealing with this guy. *Lesson for that gentleman who was working at 10 a.m. Friday, October 31, 2014 - Halloween: In customer service, watch your tone, act like you want to help the customer, and just simply say, "Id love to help you, unfortunately I'm swamped as I'm the only person in the store, can I please have a number and get back to you?" Tone is everything, tone would equate understanding, and probably even empathy for you being so busy. There's ways to handle things. Get it together.

When a friend recently showed me a gorgeous painting she had purchased here I decided to stop in to look for a space I've been looking to fill in my family room. Cynthia could not have been sweeter and after seeing a picture of the space showed me a bunch of paintings that could work. She has so much gorgeous art in this gallery, but I especially liked Amie Campbell's work. She photoshopped a few of my favorite pieces into the room and while I loved the artwork, I didn't think they were quite right for the space. I"m continuing to search for the perfect piece for this particular room, but I'll definitely be back to look for future artwork needs.

As it happened, we did not end up conserving the textile piece because it was so badly damaged, but the experience was so positive I brought them an Ambrotype I'd received. The image quality had suffered a great deal in the 160-plus years it had been kicking around my family. Our goal was to stop any more damage occurring to image on the glass and, if possible, clean and/or brighten the picture. Well. The Conservation Center did a MAGNIFICENT job! It's stunning! A beautiful portrait of a woman circa 1860. The care, the craftsmanship... it's clear my little treasure was just as much a treasure to them as well. And with their help, the image of a that long-gone matriarch will preside over the family for at least a hundred more years. I cannot recommend The Conservation Center enough. And, I shall be bringing them another piece to look at.

This portrait was over 100 years old and had a lot of damage to the portrait and frame, especially water damage. The restoration is truly remarkable! Such care and consideration were given us especially when working with us on the pricing! I am so grateful to Ms. Maria Orachek! She was wonderful to work with us. This portrait now belongs to my disabled son, and it has made him so happy. I am happy to write this review for The Conservation Center and their entire staff. They deserve a full 5-star review!
