Periwinkle Custom Framing

Recommendation by another Top Level Custom Framer

by DebWong at Citysearch

We at Spring Mountain Gallery are custom framers in Half Moon Bay, and go to Periwinkle Framing when we need help with some of the jobs that we don't do, such as having oil painting canvases stretched. We had one job recently for a well-known client, a very large oil painting that we knew could not be trusted to anyone but Lionel Emde of Periwinkle. Lionel did such a beautiful, professional job of it, that when we delivered the painting to the client to hang in one of his restaurants, he was extremely happy - and he is a hard person to please! Our client then recommended us to others. We are no slouches ourselves, having been in the business since 1980, so when we use the services of another custom framer, we truly know what to look for. Our reputation depends upon the finest , and Periwinkle's service makes us look good, too.

BEST FRAMER

by ShelleyGeorgette at Citysearch

I would highly recommend Lionel's work to any one. He has an extensive selection from which to choose. He is creative, talented, thinks outside the box, is patient. I never felt rushed. He completed my very special project before it was promised. His work is quality. A true professional. His prices are fair. I am absolutely thrilled with the work he did for me. I am fussy --- and I highly recommend him!

Best Framing at Periwinkels

by windrider101 at Citysearch

It has been a genuine pleasure having my painting framed at Periwinkels. This was my first experience having a painting professionally mounted and framed. Lionel had an excellent sense of the composition, and helped me select the right frame for the job from among an impressive inventory. He was prompt, professional and did the job at a fair price. I would strongly recommend his services.

• Pros: Excellent job and excellent service

Terrific, professional, patient framer

by mayamunro at Citysearch

Working with Lionel is always a pleasure. He has framed several pieces of art for me, including but not limited to 2 monotypes, 3 lithographs and 2 very large abstract water colors. Lionel is very knowledgeable and always helps me find the exact framing to make the art POP. I often have trouble deciding between choices, but Lionel is very patient and goes through the pros and cons of each back ground. Thanks for always doing a terrific job! Oh and always hanging the art work for us. Husband hates doing it.

Periwinkle Framing knowledgable about art and gives great service

by bobsushill at Citysearch

I am a San Francisco collector of works on paper (drawings, original prints, and photographs) and have been using Periwinkle Framing for several years. I have been extremely impressed. Lionel Emde gives you all the time you need and works actively with you to find just the right frame. He knows a good deal about art history and frame styles, so you will always get a period- and style- appropriate frame for your work of art.

In addition, the work is done in a timely manner. and the prices are reasonable. Mr. Emde is also very personable. I can't recommend Periwinkle enough.

• Pros: Great parking, prices, service, and selection
• Cons: none
