The shop serves artists, photographers, collectors, and individuals seeking to display meaningful items with appropriate dignity.

This is the first time that I am using Merlin framing for artworks and I must say that I am utterly disappointed. I opted for a double side acrylic so that the artist drawings on the back is still visible. I understand that Merlin might have limitations to do this and needed to use double side tape. However, the workmanship was horrendous and unprofessional. The tape at the back acrylic window used was dirty and patchy. This was the condition when I opened up the frame today. See photos. Completely no thought was put into this. Very very disappointed and an overhyped framer.
