Picture Framing - North Dublin, City Centre

Can anyone recommend a good value, good quality picture framing service on Dublin's Northside or city centre please?

Re: Good Value Picture Framing - North Dublin, City Centre

Hi, I've gotten 3 paintings framed at this stage by a shop on Liffey Street, just beside the old Hector Grays."FX" I believe its called, or something to that effect. You will see pictures hanging outside. They give good advice re mounting boards, colours, frames etc. but if you have something in mind, they are not pushy, they will go with what you want. The work was excellent and very satisfactory to me. I don't know if they were reasonable or not, I just know the prices quoted seemed fair to me at the time.

Hi try these guys - my mother and a friend got some framing done with them in the last few months and both were very happy with the service, quality and price.

Regency Frames in Baldoyle Industrial Estate are very good.
They also have regular sales (there may well be a July one).

I think Regency Frames are in Plato Business Park, Damastown, Dublin 15.
I didn't know they have regular sales.

You could hop on the dart in Bray and go to 'The Art of Framing' max 2 mins from DART station. It is run by an Australian called Greg - Tel 01 2828967 - I defy anyone to find more reasonable prices!

Hi,

Can recommend a lady called Aideen at 3 Foxfield Park, Raheny, Dublin 5 087 6808360 if that's near to you. Her and her husband, Sharif, are artists who run exhibitions and run a framing business from home. We got pictures framed about 2 months ago and were very impressed. They are really lovely people and offer lots of advice and help

They may well have another branch, but I have been in their Baldoyle shop recently.

I needed some framing done recently and contacted Aideen and Sharif in Raheny after seeing Dools' recommendation and contact info above. I can't agree more with D's comments , they're very friendly and helpful, and I'd definitely go back with any other important framing work I need done - They even collected the certificate I needed to be framed from me at my place or work on the day I contacted them, to save me having to drop it over in the evening. Very happy with the result, and it was finished really quickly, especially considering it was during the xmas holiday season, when I was prepared for a much longer wait!

Is that the same Aideen who used to exhibit nice landscapes on Stephen's Green about 20 years ago(or maybe merrion Square)? There was a lady called Aideen and she was fromn Raheny; if its the same person I wouldn't mind seeing what kind of stuff she's doing now.

Clars1909, so glad my rec was of use and am glad they got some business from here. We have used them again a couple of times since and they have been amazing to deal with. Friends of ours have used them also.


Lollix, I am guessing it is the same Aideen. Am not sure, but I think she had mentioned about Merrion Square to me before. She still paints - a lot of it at home. She is a really lovely lady

Can anyone give me a rough idea of framing prices? I have an canvas that I want to get framed - it's 60x90cm(24x36in) but haven't a clue how much it will cost. Anyone got a ball park figure? Ta
