Antique Den & Custom Framing — Attraction in Merrifield

I have been Paul and Kei’s customer since 2017 when they framed some artwork for me at P&C Art. Since then, I have purchased many pieces of art and antiques from them and they have framed many artworks for me. I would not think of going anywhere else and when P&C Art closed, I followed them to their new shop, the Antique Den. Antique Den is in a prime location with plenty of parking. Ambiance of the shop is inviting and friendly. Paul and Kei always make me and other customers feel welcome and valued. From my many visits to their shop I have noticed that they have a strong customer base with many loyal repeat customers. There is a wide selection of antiques and artwork (originals, prints and sculptures) by a variety of well-known artists. Paul and Kei work patiently with me to pick out frames and mats to ensure that my artwork is shown to its best advantage. The quality of their products, craftsmanship, artistry, and customer service are superb and second to none. Their prices are reasonable, and delivery times are prompt. Paul is a master of his craft. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable about all aspects of framing as well as the artists represented in the shop. Paul is passionate about all facets of his work and dealings with customers. His workmanship is impeccable and exceeds my expectations every time. Much of the success of the shop is due to Kei’s friendly demeanor, exceptional organization and administrative skills, attention to detail, and communication skills. She provides timely responses to all requests and updates on the progress of projects. Kei and Paul are a great team and consistently go above and beyond to deliver the very best to their customers. I highly recommend Antique Den. I have referred many friends to Paul and Kei for their framing needs as well as beautiful artwork and antiques. All have been very happy return customers. I wish I could give Antique Den more...

I have been using artistic services from Paul and Kei for seven years. They have collectively framed my art in their previous shop and have continued to do so in their new shop, Antique Den. My appreciation for the quality of work provided by Paul and Kei was a result of the framed artwork I saw at a friend’s home. It was stunning.

My initial encounter with Paul and Kei came about when I went with my friend to Paul and Kei’s previous shop to have some Michel Delacroix prints framed. I was impressed with how friendly, knowledgeable and professional Paul and Kei were in helping my friend select frames and matting to enhance her artwork. After that, it was obvious to me that I had to bring my artwork to them for framing, too. I have also purchased artwork from them and found their knowledge of the pieces and artists to be exceptional. If they didn’t have a particular piece in stock, they made every effort to locate it for me.

Since that first visit, I decided that I would go to no-one else but Paul and Kei for my framing needs. Their selection of frames and quality of materials are exceptional. Paul is a true artist and master craftsman. I have been amazed at how his workmanship enhances the beauty of any piece of art. Kei’s friendly and professional demeanor, organizational and communication skills make every visit to the shop and transaction a delight. She keeps me updated on the progress of every project and responds in a timely manner to all requests.

Paul and Kei’s customer service is top notch. From the first meeting to delivery of a completed project, they make me feel that my satisfaction is a top priority. They go above and beyond to give their very best to every project. I highly recommend Antique Den for the great selection of artwork and framing and their exceptional customer service. Many thanks to...

I’ve trusted Paul and K with some of my most valuable pieces for more than five years, and they continue to exceed my expectations with every project. Their thoughtful approach and masterful craftsmanship elevate each piece in ways larger framing businesses have consistently fallen short. Before discovering them, I often relied on big-box framing services offering promotional deals. However, when it comes to irreplaceable artwork, I’ve learned that trusting true craftsmanship like that offered by Paul and K is invaluable. Their boutique service ensures each piece gets the custom treatment it deserves, with an expansive selection of mats, frames, and glass options curated to complement the artwork, not overshadow it. What sets Paul and K apart is their ability to balance expert guidance with complete respect for your artistic vision. They offer insightful recommendations while allowing you full creative control over the final design. My framed pieces have ranged from contemporary watercolors to delicate family heirlooms, sewn and framed in custom shadow boxes. The difference between one of their framed works and something done elsewhere is unmistakable. Their frames aren’t just supporting elements; they’re bespoke works of art in themselves. The precision, care, and artistry that Paul brings to every project reflect a level of craftsmanship rarely found today. To top it off, Paul and K are some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet. If you’re searching for a trusted, high-end framing experience in the DC metro area, look no further—your art will be in the...
