Hirsch & Associates Fine Art Services, Inc.

Custom framing requires steady hands and sharp tools, something Hirsch & Associates Fine Art Services has built its reputation on along 28th Street. The picture frame shop sits two floors above street level, in a building shared by small studios and ateliers. They handle everything from archival mounting and cutting mats to hand-carved frame profiles and UV-protective glazing options. Need a shadow box for a three-dimensional piece? They build the tray, insert the spacers, and hang it true. Directly above the garment district’s fabric stores, the shop sits at 146 West 28th Street on the second floor. Clients drop off original artwork Monday through Friday, and within days they call with framing options and pricing. Large canvases, delicate works on paper, and family quilts all receive the same careful attention to bevel cuts and rabbet depth. If you’re unsure about proportions, they provide templates before any wood touches the saw. Call ahead for pickup or consultation: (212) 255-4358. A quick trip up the freight elevator lands you at the entrance; for visitors unfamiliar with the block, the map below points the safest route: directions.
