Ursula Hobson Fine Art Framing Inc., Philadelphia PA

A lot of people are qualified, and then "the best" with a qualifier - the best bargain, the best location, or the best customer service. Ursula Hobson needs no qualifier - she's simply the best. Her level of experience, knowledge, connections, and even impact on the field aren't only the top in Philadelphia, but top in class, no geographic qualifier. And rather than pretentiousness, there is something egalitarian that comes with that level of skill and confidence. This isn't hyperbole, I promise: we were just some kids who did our research and walked in, yet our needs were given the same time and effort as celebrity projects coming in from NYC and recognizable (intimidating) museums. The trust Hobson established right off the bat was worth the price itself, and her creative solutions for four very disparate projects - a personal item that needed a customized box she designed and had fabricated, a campier piece picked up for $7 brought to life with the perfect rescued frame and presentation, a rare poster print and a signed lithograph - came quickly but thoughtfully, handling challenges we didn't even know to anticipate. These are pieces I'll have for the rest of my life, and thats when its worth going with Ursula Hobson Fine Art Framing. The execution was extremely impressive - you're paying for not just the time and the materials, but all the insight and craft Hobson brings. If its something you'd be happy to have in a Target frame, please do that. But if it's something special, what you'll pay is a bargain for the outcome. She's also extremely cool, but that just a bonus. Highly recommend to anyone in the region.

Ursula is a consumate professional whose work speaks for itself. She also has a good eye and can help you pick a mat and frame that compliments your art.

We had a wonderful experience with Ursula Hobson framing. We have an older valuable piece of fine art that had to be removed from the frame and placed in a special folder for protection as it was taken to New York for appraisal. This was done with great care and precision. Then Ursula repaired the frame to where it looked like new and replaced the matting and glass to high museum standards. It could not have been done better!
