Picture This – Framing Center & Gallery

Very helpful. Had a couple prints to frame for a gift with only a days notice. They did a great job and had them ready within a few hours.

The best framers ever. Quality craftsmanship and stupendous customer service.

Picture This is by far the best framing shop in RI. I am a collector of vintage posters and advertising and they have always taken great care to preserve my art and ensure my pieces will look great on the wall. The staff is knows their stuff and they are extremely friendly. Even the quality of the materials they use is better than the other framing shops in town. Seriously these guys are the best!!!

Great place! Always take such good care of my fine-​art pieces, wonderful support and service in selecting the right frames/​mats.
And I can never get out without a handful of beautiful (or funny) cards!
Thanx

We’ve had several items custom framed here and we’ve been very pleased with the results. We’ve also purchased a framed antique print and a framed antique map — this is the place to visit if you are looking for original, antique maps of Rhode Island cities and towns as well as cities and countries from around the world.
The really nice thing about coming here is the expertise of the owner and employees. I’m not very good at figuring out mattes, matte sizes, colors, etc. These people are! They are very patient and really spend time with you figuring out exactly what works for you. They show you all sorts of options (that I’d never have considered!) but never pressure or rush you.
The downside: you pay for this kind of help. It’s pricey, but in my opinion, worth it.

Excellent service. Friendly. I have usually gone to the store in downcity Providence and I was sad to see them go, but I do understand the lack of traffic and so it was a business decision. Will go to the East Side to continue to get great service.

One of the great things about the East Side is that you get to find all these little stores that make this neighborhood the best in Providence. Next to all these food joints and antique stores here, there’s this custom framing store. This may quickly become one of my favorite places to look around and I’ll tell you why in a sec.
Yes, parking is always a problem around here and of course today it was raining. Luckily I found parking on one of the side streets and walked over (with an umbrella!). Just to be clear, they only do custom framing here and it really looks like they know what they are doing. In addition to only doing custom framing, they have a very large selection of frame choices. I was having one of my deep sea dive pictures framed and needed some input and they were quick to help and explain to me what would make the picture stand out.
They gave me several price options and found something that worked for me and the picture. I’ll definitely be back (well I have to be since I still need to pick up the picture next week). What makes this situation even better is that while they take your measurements, you are able to peruse their large collection of hand drawn prints of old Rhode Island. You’ll find animal, building drawings and maps all nicely framed and rare collector’s items. I’m no professional but each and everyone is highlighted like a treasure.
They also have a large collection of gift cards which I didn’t take time to go through since I was so enamored with everything else. I urge you to take a look!

I have been to Picture This in Providence twice. Each time I was rewarded with friendly service and quality workmanship.
I needed a frame to mount a satin pouch containing the broken glass from my wedding with a picture. They helped me pick out the best frame and layout for what I wanted. A few days later, they called to inform me that it was ready. the frame with the picture and pouch came out fantastic. My wife was so happy that I took the time to frame a memory from out wedding day. Needless to say, I put this in the win column.
The second time I needed a large newspaper framed. I dropped off the newspaper and in about a week Picture This called me to tell me the frame was ready. Once again, a great job. I will be going to Picture This for all my custom framing needs.

Amazing collection of Rhode Island specific pictures — esp featuring the former ProJo photographer Richard Benjamin. He specializes in scenes from early morning, lilting fog, first snow, on landscapes throughout the state. Classy, tasteful prints that would look great in any home or office!

I go into Picture This just to get birthday cards… but once your inside it looks like they know what they are doing… With all the picture frames all over the place… i could say they frame your art or pictures… Picture This is next to Fellini’s Pizza… talk to Bill
