Our selection of frames rivals no other in the Washington D.C. area.
All our samples are carefully selected by Georgetown Frame Shoppe’s' owner
Peter Bortz, and chosen in response to the tastes of our eclectic clientele.
We work in partnership with a number of molding distributors to provide
you with the greatest selection of high quality frames. Included in our
list of business relations are: Roma Moldings, whose designers collaborate
with European artisans to craft and individually hand finish every length
of frame they produce; Turner Associates Inc., located in the Washington
Metropolitan area, who provide a vast array of burl wood frames, rustic
wood frames, and boast tasteful quality frame ensembles such as the Cosmopolitan
Collection and the Cotswald Collection; and Larson Juhl, who specialize
in marketing signature collections from respected molding designers like
Craig Ponzio.
Georgetown Frame Shoppe has a frame to fit every work of art, and almost
every client’s budget. Along with having a large selection elaborate gilded,
painted and carved frames, we have a great selection of less expensive
high quality moldings. A number of clients choose our business to frame
their photography, certificates, newspaper article clippings and posters,
because they know we can provide them with possibilities that are high
quality, chic, and affordable.
We use archival and conservation materials in order to protect your artwork
for years to come. We carry a large section of affordable 100% cotton
acid free matting by reputable distributors such as Crescent and Bainbridge.
We literally have hundreds of colors to choose from, including color core
mattes. Given the range of possibilities at Georgetown Frame Shoppe, our
clients always find what perfectly suites their taste and art.
Here at Georgetown Frame Shoppe we understand the importance of good
framing. Low quality framing materials detract from the aesthetic value,
as well as the intrinsic value of art. It's our mission to protect and
enhance your art, artifacts, memorabilia, family photos, graduation certificates
etc.
The Georgetown Frame Shoppe has been located in the heart of Georgetown
since 1989. We currently reside at 2902-1/2 M Street, Georgtown,
North West D.C. We're best identified by our green awning across
the street from the Wachovia Bank, at the corner of M St and 29th
St.
You can see dozens of examples of our framing at our Gallery, located
at 2902-1/2 M St in Georgetown. We have original Pablo Picasso Etchings,
Linocuts and Lithographs; original Marc Chagall Lithographs from "The
Story of Exodus" series published by Leon Amiel in 1966, a number of original
signed Posters from exhibitions of his work; a selection of vintage Joan
Miro posters for Maeght Gallery in Paris and a number of bold and colorful
experimental lithographs from the 1980's; several original Augustus Renoir
portrait lithographs; and a number of etchings of women by Henri Matisse.
We have all these and more framed and on display at our gallery.
As you may well have guessed by viewing our website, we have great
collection of modern and contemporary prints. As much as framing
is an integral part of of Georgetown Frame Shoppe's identity, our
business is also retailing art. Our specialties are printed matter and
animation art, drawings, cels and storyboards. We also take and
sell artwork on consignment.
I feel it is important to mention that all the work involved in
framing your work of art takes place in our in-house framing studio
located directly above our gallery. This is a great asset to our
clients because it enables us to meet all our their needs without
complication, and to guarantee the highest quality of craftsmanship.
We pride ourselves on not cutting corners to save on company expenses,
and we always do our best to give our customers a competitive rate
for the greatest value of our services and products. We have always
upheld a standard guaranteeing complete customer satisfaction and
we vow to continue to lead our business in this ethical manner.
