Ilana Lobet Framing

Total pro. Had an Amazon local deal and went over to have some certificates framed. Ilana was very welcoming and helped me choose a frame. Would highly recommend

Ilana Lobet was initially recommended by a friend that I trust completely and I couldn’t be happier that I contacted her!
I recently purchased an archival photograph (my first piece of REAL ART) from a gallery and wanted to do it justice to with an amazing frame. After making an appointment via email, I took my piece to her studio on the UWS. We spent 15 – 30 minutes looking at all sorts of frames once an initial «look» was determined. She gave me options in all price ranges with no judgment one way or another. I went with one of the pricier options of a hand-​made, hand-​leafed frame after both of us decided it was the «perfect» choice.
A very reasonable 4 weeks later when I received my piece finished and framed, it was indeed Perfect (with a capital P).
Ilana takes much pride in her work and in the frame craftspeople she works with. This is not Michaels craft store. This is art for your art.

Beautiful work done here!
Came here for a frame for my dining room and they took such time and care. I will definitely return!

IIana Lobet is a gem. The process of getting my photograph framed took some time, but it seemed that she was willing to work on a faster timetable (i.e., within a month) if necessary. However, giving her enough time to work on your painting, photograph, print, etc. is highly recommended. When I arrived at the studio after scheduling an appointment, she took all the time I needed to select the appropriate frame and matte for the artwork. We must’ve spent at least 30 minutes putting together the final product and I never felt rushed. When I asked for her opinion regarding the taste and aesthetics of my choices, she did not mince words and she was honest with me. The result is a great product!
The frame for my large photograph is exceptionally made. The corners are seamless and look like one whole piece. The matting is exceptionally cut and centered on the piece of work. The wire hanger on the back is clearly handmade and is very sturdy. This piece of work will not come off the wall anytime soon and I doubt even an earthquake could shake it from it’s foundations. Without journeying further into hyperbole, I am very, very pleased with my first piece of artwork. As a young 20-​something, I will be enjoying this for years to come and IIana has made a loyal client out of me!
Prices are not exactly cheap, but be sure to look out for Living Social deals to help subsidize the cost. It’s worth supporting professional craftspeople and I am more than glad to support IIana’s establishment.
