The House of Heydenryk | Consultation

Our expert showroom staff will work closely with you in choosing the best possible frame for your artwork. The House of Heydenryk uses full frame samples rather than corner pieces, which enables the client to see how the moulding relates to the picture as a whole. Each consultant is an artist in his/her own right and is available to advise you on the historical accuracy, aesthetics or design of the frame and its relationship to your work of art.

For over four decades, Charles has acted as a frame consultant to the country's major museums, corporations, institutions and collectors as well as worked directly with such artists as Edward Hopper, Salvador Dalí and Andrew Wyeth.
