Where do you get your framed pictures from?

I have lots of prints and pictures framed and I always use eframe online.
They have a massive choice.
They are reasonable compared to getting something framed. You just have to make sure you measure to the millimetre and work out if you want it mounted or not.
Every frame that has come has been spot on for me.

Why not buy originals from local artists? More reflective of individuality and supporting local creativity. Needn't cost a fortune either.

No, I'm very particular; I want very specific things, Pre Raphaelite stuff or 18th century flora and fauna.
I could do my own originals, but it's definitely not up to my own standards!

A good source is auction houses, they all do online catalogues, and the sort of thing you are looking for is often available as either prints or originals, which can go for surprisingly little. My brother is an auction stalker, and he’s got some beautiful stuff that way.

A lot depends on the role artworks play in your home. If it's to fill wall space with something familiar then buy framed prints.
Our paintings are an important part of our home. They tend to be paintings that either made an emotional impact on us or remind us of a happy place and time. Most are colourist. We love them.

Fanny No, I'm very particular; I want very specific things, Pre Raphaelite stuff or 18th century flora and fauna.

Does 18th century flora and fauna mean botanical prints or do you mean 'Still Life' paintings, those wonderful studies of bases of flowers, items on a table.

In which case auctions and ebay are your best bet. Most auctions put their catalogues online and a bit of searching should help your refine your terms to find what you want.

I recently redecorated a room and needed a pair of smallish pictures for one wall. We went to viewing day at our local auction, I walked in the door and there leaning against the wall beside the door was exactly what I wanted. I paid £30 for them, they are now in place and look absolutely right.

I usually buy prints in poster form and then peruse the charity shops until I find a frame that I like of the correct dimensions and simply dispose of whatever picture is already in there.

We use a local chap in the village who does picture framing.

Ten years ago, I used to buy framed pictures on my local market till they closed. Turned out they just moved online. On the web, you can find hundreds of services offering printings. Almost a half of my buys are from Artstation (not exactly from the service, but from the content creators). It's very convenient - any newly published art is offered in any size and frame style. Plus, you can take your favorite photo, enhance it with imglarger.com/blog/how-to-make-blurry-pictures-clear/ and make a request to print it. Isn't it worse than buying random ready-made ones?

I get frames from Tesco and they get delivered with the grocery.

Most are sold as photo frames, some as certificate frames.

I have not yet used any for a photograph or a certificate, having used them for framing greetings cards, the ones that don't have wording on the front, just a picture.

Bumping my post of 14 April 2021 as it is time to start buying things for the C word.
"The National Gallery of Scotland, in Edinburgh, sells good quality prints of the pictures in their collection. I have checked their website and they also sell them online. You choose your picture and the frame, and it is custom-made and sent to you, Prices from £7.99 for a small one and upwards for larger. www.nationalgalleries.org/custom-prints " Some of these works may be ones unavailable from English sources. Worth a look.

We have always bought from local shops. My DS and DiL are covering their walls with pictures from Art Republic.

I rarely buy anything ready-framed but have prints or originals framed at the local art gallery/picture framers. In the unlikely event they can't supply what I want then, as has been mentioned above, I order from eframe.co.uk
