Great experience! Waited for a sale to go on and took a couple vintage posters and small artwork to be framed. Sergio walked us through all the frame choices and matting when applicable and helped us with recommendations when we couldn’t decide. The finished products are all gorgeous, better than I expected, and the framing overall adds so much value and individuality to our pieces. Highly recommend!
