I had two 150+ year old documents framed. Exceptional service. Twelve years after the original framing, they quickly reset one of the documents that had slightly slipped its location -- no charge.

Gets the job done right the first time and on time. One example of their work is this Eastlake mirror. The wooden back was coming off and the mirror was skewed. Everything is proper.
