Did you know that H. Marion Framing offers FREE in-home art consultation? It's just one of our many services.

While most consultations do take place in one of our two convenient North Shore showrooms, art and framing selections may also be “auditioned” in your own home  to ensure that the appropriate scale & materials selections enhance your art and coordinate with your existing decor!

Our team of qualified designers have been in the framing business for over thirty-five years; we even have an ASID-certified Interior Designer on staff!

Tips & Trends : Six Tips for Buying Art

• Ask questions : Any reputable art dealer should “know their stuff” and be happy to share information with you
• Buy what you like : Unless you are a collector developng a body of work, your choices should be based on what you will enjoy
• When pricing, compare apples with apples : Artwork may look similar, but may actually be different media created in a different way that affects the value, longevity, etc.
• Educate yourself : Read a book or use the internet to learn about different types of art
• Go out and see “the real thing” : Visit museums, galleries, and attend art shows for a first-hand view of the differences between various types of art
• Frame it right : Having your art framed properly preserves color and value
