I also want to mention the large supply of quality prints and other art objects available to purchase at their locations. It’s always a treat just to stop by and browse.
If you’re looking at this review you already recognize that a piece of art, of whatever kind, that you value deserves to be properly conserved and attractively presented. For many years I’ve relied on Buchanan and Kiguel for conservation and presentation advice and services for a wide variety of items including traditional artwork, antique maps, antique firearms, coins, and more. A number of these items have required unique and creative framing. Their staff’s knowledge is unparalleled. The beauty and quality of their framing, and particularly their custom matting, does more than just complement your piece …it will complete it in a way that adds confidence, value, and pride that lasts far longer than the dollar “saved” by using a lesser provider.
I routinely go to Buchanan & Kiguel when I need quality frames for my prints and paintings. For my last project, I received exceptional, personal service, which was above and beyond what I expected. Richard cared about the project I was working on and shared information and resources that helped me improve my current project and will help with future ones.
I have been a customer of Buchanan & Kiguel for over 30 years. Beginning with Dr. Kiguel and over the last 20 years with Paul Williams, I have enjoyed expert assistance and artistic acumen in framing over 50 works of art. Many of the art works were placed in high-end gold leaf frames; many of them with flawlessly executed French mats. In the very rare instance where there has been dissatisfaction with the frame produced by one of the firm’s vendors, Paul unhesitatingly stood in my corner and had the frame re-done to my satisfaction. Over the years he has re-stretched a valuable canvas, repaired frames and surgically removed defects from the surfaces of paintings. I consider Paul Williams to be a person of the highest integrity and unreservedly recommend his services for custom framing, art conservation and restoration.
It is wonderful to have the professional art restoration services they provide right here in Charlottesville! I have had several paintings restored and cleaned and their work is impeccable. I would recommend them highly for their art restoration and guidance for proper framing to suit the piece.
What most differentiates Buchanan and Kiguel from other framing providers is, I believe, the knowledge and experience of the staff. When you bring a piece to them you have the confidence of knowing that the person assisting you in your framing decision, and especially the person performing the work, are professionals who have chosen this field and have been working at the craft for years, often decades. They willingly share their knowledge and experience to help you to select the color(s), width, and highlights of the matting as well as the material, design, and width of the frame that presents your piece at its very best.
Wonderful staff and beautiful work. They do a great job with needlepoint. I couldn't be happier with how great my needlework looks when I pick it up!
