As an individual with a modest collection of works on paper, I've been taking my pieces to Belle Meade Framers for more than 20 years now. While I've usually arrived knowing pretty much what I wanted done in each case, I've also relied on Kevin Dransfield (the owner) and his fine staff for suggestions and advice and have seldom been disappointed with the results. I suspect they've done 35-40 pieces for me over these 20+ years - everything from works by students to some good historical pieces - and on those two (2) occasions when I was unhappy about the way something turned out, it was remedied immediately.
They use good materials, listen carefully to your wishes, give advice when it's sought, and provide a reliable estimate for completion of the work and its cost. Good framing is not inexpensive, but then neither is their work ever 'cheap.' I'm not in a position to be able to state that they are unquestionably the best in town, but I - personally - would never go anywhere else; there would be no reason to. And... they're really nice people to boot.

Read moreRecently, I was given an oil painting by my father. It is an heirloom piece and a very precious treasure to me. I searched over the web through reviews on the best possible framers that I could entrust to frame it. Belle Meade Framers had great reviews and a military discount. I am absolutely over the moon with the finished product! They walked through the process with me, helped with picking out the perfect frame, alleviated any doubts that I might have had, and was very professional. Thank you so much Belle Meade Framers! I highly recommend this...
Read moreI reached out and spoke with an extremely kind rep who helped as well as referred me to Evin for a custom frame project. Within less than a day, Evin followed up with a personal call and email that were both exceptionally detailed, thorough, and thoughtful. As a prospective client I was blown away by how he went above and beyond to help with the project and explain several frame-related items at length. It was invaluable to our project - thank you...
