This is one of the prettiest frame shops I have seen in a while.
Especially if you are a 1920’s or 1800s vintage/​antique style lover, this shop is a golden find. While there is a great variety of photography /​picture frames of all styles and many of them are modern (hence the shop will satisfy all tastes), I was especially impressed to see many early 1900s-​evoking high quality wooden frames with those typical golden inserts for oval photos. Those frames in particular were on the pricey side, but again, I think it was a reasonable price for high quality unique products which you won’t see in anybody else’s home.
I also loved that they had many tasteful frames designed to hold multiple photographs at the same time — I have previously had a hard time finding any interesting ones beyond the few mass produced ikea-​like models that one sees everywhere.
I didn’t need any custom framing services, so I cannot comment on that, but the lady behind the counter was very nice and helpful (and spoke good English), so I imagine dealing with her on that matter must be a pleasure.
CONCLUSION: quite a little gem — if you want some unique and different frames for your wedding/​special occasion photos, or if you want to upgrade your home decoration with something really unique, give this one a go! Being a minute away from the Schwedenplatz metro station and about 10 mins walk away from the St. Stephen Cathedral, it is an easy item to incorporate into a day of browsing Vienna’s city center.
