I entrusted two very elderly paintings, family heirlooms, both more than 100 years old, to Charlie for cleaning and restoration. I was delighted with the results. He made them look, not 'new', but restored in their dignity, both the paintings themselves and the original frames. I'm looking at them now, on my walls, and feeling very grateful to Charlie for his care and expert technique. I'd recommend him highly. read more

Charlie and Susie can be counted on to greet you with a smile and give you as little or as much information about an artist or a piece as you wish. I won't have anything framed elsewhere. Charlie is a master and can recommend framing that suits the art AND your budget. read more

I took a very sentimental item to be framed by Charlie. He did such an outstanding job and I look forward to taking more items to him for framing. Charlie does such a great job at selecting or helping the customer to select framing and matting that enhances whatever job needs to be done. Susie and Charlie are both friendly, professional and talented owners/proprietors of this establishment. It is a neat, eye-catching facility. The only challenge to this location is that it is in downtown Carlisle which can sometimes be a challenge for parking. I have found parking meters sometimes run out of money if I spend too much time looking at other establishments in the area or dining in some local favorites that are nearby to The Garden Gallery. Now I smartly park off a side street where I can find a parking garage or something of that sort where I do not have to worry about feeding more coins into the meter. As for the pricing of the work that Charlie does, you will find that the quality work that he does is very reasonably priced. Check out this fine custom framing, art and photo restoration, and fine art and craft gallery at 10 North Hanover Street in downtown Carlisle Pennsylvania. You won't be disappointed. read more
