Art Framers
I have some old prints that I would like to have restored/framed. Recently there was a post that had this information and unfortunately I have been unable to access this. Will some of the contributors in the past repeat their recommendations. Thanks

One recent link for framing:

I highly recommend Prints Charming on 4th Street (off 5th Ave) in Park Slope. They did a fantastic job.

If these prints are valuable to you I'd use someone who deals with art/artists. I've had wonderful luck with Anne Gibbs at While Mule Picture Frames. She's right in Chelsea and works with a lot of artists but is REASONABLE with ordinary people like you and me. The email address I have is wmpf.nyc@gmail.com.

I have used Manhattan Frame in the past on valuable photographs. I think they handle art from collectors and galleries. They are expensive, but worth it. I know some Chelsea galleries use Chelsea Frames.

San Art framing on 7th @ Flatbush in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

Darren at Prints Charming has done almost all our picture framing. He's very knowledgeable, really understands how different frames complement (or don't) a specific piece of art, what color of mat board you need etc. His taste is somewhat conservative but always with the needs of the art uppermost. He's not inexpensive.

I also highly recommend San Art on 7th Ave. They have done wonderful work for various kinds of pieces, using archival materials, their taste is great, and they offer high end to middle range of options, depending on what you can spend.
