Great Work at Affordable Prices:
Downtown Framing Outlet is located in an old, unassuming early 20th century builing. Entering the premises, I expected to see a much larger selection of frames strewn about the place with a more extensive array of corner frame samples lining the wall. I placed my own, very tattered early 20th century print secured in a heavily damaged from atop the counter. The owner's son picked a beautiful frame, though I thought it too large. His father entered the room and looked at the picture, asking his son to bring "the gold frame" and pointing to the opposite side of the room. He son returned with a frame whose surface was covered in varying hues of gold. The owner next told his son to show me "green matting." Though I had thought black colored matting would be best for the black and while print, the dark green matting provided the picture with a rich, elegant look. I picked up the picture a few days later and can only say, it was transformed into a work of art. It is beautiful, elegant and has given new life to the beautiful graphic. These guys are great and I highly recommend you seek them out before you consider anyone else.
