Commercial and Residential Consultation
Our consulting services produce impressive results whether it’s a one-time appointment to solve an immediate need or an extensive engagement involving art selection, placement, and installation.  We offer pick-up and delivery service within the immediate Charlottesville area.

Art Selection & Acquisition
Let us do the research and help you make the final selection.  Since we are not a gallery, our art market is boundless.  In addition to traditional art, we can assemble architectural elements, artifacts, and unusual decorative pieces to compliment your space.

Placement & Arrangement
Presentation begins with a frame that is thoughtfully designed to enhance the artwork and crafted to standards of conservation excellence.  The placement and arrangement of art completes the presentation.

Deciding where and how to hang art can be daunting.  A single painting on a large expanse of wall can appear insignificant unless the right scale is achieved.  Whether using a single, large impact piece or a composition of multiple pieces, placement and arrangement are critical.  Considerations include lighting, space, artwork size, and overall balance.

Installation
We offer professional installation to ensure that your art is properly and securely displayed.  Mounting hardware is selected both to maintain the integrity of the finished piece and to facilitate proper hanging.

On-going maintenance (structural inspections of large framed pieces, cleaning, and periodic rearrangement of art to create fresh perspectives) is available.
