My wife and I want to give the highest praise to Sam and his company for honesty, integrity and best practice. We were delighted to receive excellent service and full attention to our wishes when we first met Sam with a canvas which we wanted framed. We happily agreed how the work would be done and an appropriate price. Sam contacted us when the framed picture was ready for collection and told us that, unfortunately, the result was not perfect because a tiny piece of glue had somehow found its way onto the canvas. Had Sam not told us this it is almost 100% certain that we would never have noticed that there was any problem.
Indeed Sam had shown the picture to others who could not spot it. Only when Sam pointed it out to one of us on collection did the small defect become apparent and his honesty about this deserves the highest praise. He most generously altered the agreed price in terms that are highly favourable to us. The pitcure now hangs in our house and it is likely that the tiny defect will never be spotted, even by art experts. To all any and any who fear they might be "ripped off" by a dodgy picture framer, we say go to SE1 Picture Frames and ask for Sam.
