Chandler Fine Art Framing

An excellent place for custom framing or to frame mirrors with one of the largest selections of frames - from metal frames to custom carved gold leafed frames. Very knowledgeable regarding archival framing and competively priced for custom framing in San Francisco.

once i graduated from rock posters and 3x5 photos taped to the walls i realized i needed to protect my art. i found chandler fine art several years ago and am so happy with each perfectly framed piece. the difference between store bought frames and a professional framing job is monumental! they have beautiful, simple wood frames and gorgeous gold and silver moldings with classic designs. the staff is very helpful and creative. some pieces i have had done simply and others they have suggested moldings and matts i would not have thought of. i also love many of the artists they represent as i love collage and abstract landscape.

ps. you don have to give up buying cool concert posters - just get them framed already!

Pros: open 6 days pe week

Cons: now a parking garage across the street

I is such a pleasant surprise to come to a shop these days and find some one who is an expert at what they sell. I was very happy to find an expert at framing who knew lots of options that looked great with my art, and also knew that best way to preserve my art. I found that compared to another frame shop that I went to, Chandler had a better selection, better service, similar pricing.
Parking is in a garage across the street, which is ok. I didn't have to drive around looking for a spot.

Pros: Expert service, lots of great frame choices

Cons: Can't think of any con

I have been framing my things with Susan at Chandler Fine Art & Framing for 10 years. In the old days it was Museum West and Susan was the manager. In 2003, she bought it and changed the name. I like the new logo much better. They have an amazing selection of frames and they really know what they're doing!

Pros: Amazing selection of frames, friendly and really good

this place is actually under new ownership and called chandler's fine art framing. it's nice but not as good as museum west used to be. i went there a couple months ago to have my painting framed. the quality is high but you'll definitely pay for it and the turnaround was a bit long. they had a good selection of frames but not as many mats as you would expect for such an expensive place. you can get the same quality for much cheaper at periwinkle or another reputable framer.

Pros: high quality, nice frame selection, next to sfmoma

Cons: very expensive, construction, traffic
