"In 1973, when I first started out in framing, I met Henry Heydenryk, Jr., who was the recognized world authority on the history of frames. I sought him and his note-worthy team of artisans out to help solve some framing problems for the Smithsonian's National Portraits Gallery. I developed a long and satisfying relationship with not only him, but also with his staff who provided the only comprehensive source of antiques and authentic replicas that could be utilized for the nation's collection of portraits. I am happy to say his knowledge, kindness and generosity of spirit have always been a hallmark for the firm, which fortunately has continued long after his death. Luckily for its customers, the House of Heydenryk continues to strive and provide the same kind of personal service and expert craftsmanship that can be found nowhere else."
