There's a lot of trust you give a framer when you hand them your artwork.
We have a lifetime of experience handling one-of-a-kind artwork, prints, rare documents, family heirlooms, and other items. If it is important enough to frame, then we know it is important enough for us to handle with the most care possible. |

Since 1967 our family has been in the framing business. We know what looks great, and we have a selection of frames that is seen nowhere else in Richmond.
ABOUT PRICING:
Over the years (or decades) we have watched how big-box craft stores have confused customers by advertising 1/3 Off, 50% Off, 60% Off and even 70% Off and then doubled or tripled normal framing prices to make up for it. Many framing customers have learned about their tactics of false advertising, but still a few are fooled into thinking they're getting a discount, when they are not.
(more info about big box misleading frame-sale advertising can be seen here)
West End Gallery has real, everyday frame prices without "frame sale" gimmicks. We would rather treat you as we would like to be treated, rather than advertise a false sale like the competition.
We offer frames in all price ranges. From budget, to economical, to moderate, to premium, to investment. You may read more below about our frame selections.
ABOUT OUR FRAME SELECTIONS:
We offer 2,000 frame styles, from traditional to contemporary, simple to ornate. We have gone out of our way to have a collection that you will simply love, in price ranges for everyone's framing budget.
ABOUT OUR FRAME SHOP:
We are a true frame shop in every sense. All orders
are made on the premises. We cut and join frames on-site, we custom cut the glass and matting, we offer drymounting up to 40"x60", and
we have several-thousand feet of moulding on-hand at all times, just in case of "framing emergencies" where we need to serve customers in a rush. Our
frame shop is prepared for virtually any framing project.
RUSH ORDERS:
Are you in a hurry? Did you forget their birthday is in a few days? Or is the whole family coming over to your house soon?
Normally we ask anywhere from 2-3 weeks for non-rush orders. This time allows us to have such a unique collection of frame styles, as it takes time to ship specialty mouldings from all over for your orders, and allows us time to carefully make each and every frame order. But if you find yourself in a rush and need framing in a matter of days (or within 1 day), then please let us know right when you arrive. We will then show you options we can get within your time frame.
Rush orders are taken when possible, but can often be taken without a problem. When near a large holiday (like Christmas) then a lot of rush orders may already placed. We will do everything we can to take in your rush order. Please note that unique items such as shadowboxes often require more time than standard framing.
