We have a wide range of frame styles and finishes from traditional to contemporary. So if you're framing an original oil painting, your grandfather's pocket watch or your child's first watercolor, your design possibilities are unlimited. We also have a couple hundred ready made frames in standard sizes: 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, 16x20, and 20x24 for those last minute picture framing needs.

Abreu Gallery takes pride in our picture frame design techniques. Our job is to learn your preferences in mouldings and mats, not just convince you of a certain presentation. Prepare for a little work at the counter. We'll watch carefully as you eliminate choices of frames and mats that don't appeal to you, and in a few minutes we'll be on the right path together. For those of you that require a little more time to absorb choices, there's always an open counter to give you a few extra minutes to make your decisions about your mats and picture frame choices. Commercial references are always available from Abreu Gallery.

Artists aren't always painters! My stitchery ladies, (for the most part, cause I have several gentleman stitchers), are detail conscious to a fault. Customers like Bev Myers, (the cupcake lady), and Suzie Brackenseik, (who's responsible for this amazing apple tree with a myriad of textured patterns) both love unique designs and yet want to make sure their stitch work remains the focal point. Walk into your chain store framer and try to get a handcut mat like the one in this cupcake stichery. Lol

Sometimes a special piece of jewelry (or a sequin purse in this case) requires a display other than a boxed in frame. Abreu Gallery Picture Framers is proud of our 'bent edge' acrylic display case. This special case (with a clear back wall) was made for Sharon Winkel, not only to achieve protection for this heirloom but to give the impression that there is no frame.

Years and years of all that cigarette smoking that took place decades ago in many homes, could be hiding the brilliance of a family painting that hasn't actually been seen for years. Look what can happen with proper cleaning as the top left quarter of this gorgeous portrait of customer Judy Allen is revealed to all in it's glory. The frame on this piece was also given the cleaning necessary to make it as striking as it once was.

Abreu Gallery Picture Framers is grateful to all the law enforcement agencies that we are able to help when it comes to award presentations and memorabilia. These examples of personal ribbons (including Valor) citations and retirement collages are going to live on throughout the lives of these brave officers. Thank you to the Sacramento Sheriffs SWAT Teams, Sac PD. the Sacramento Police Officers Association, The Sac City and Sac Metro fire departments for trusting us to do their framing.

When the Martinagos experienced their daughters victories in the Olympic trap Shooting competition, Dad couldn't allow her shooting jacket to just be stored away. This is the way to display your pride everyday, and then it's off to her home and family forever.

Another extremely rare piece of history shows the property of a Nazi Pilot shot down by the Father of one of my customers. Yes the German Fighter was brought down and the Pilot who did it was able to land and remove the personal gear (including his holstered sidearm) from the enemy and pass it down to be memorialized by us forever.

Important moments in your life, like a "Hole in One @ Pebble", can be preserved for a lifetime on one of our collages. Here's a flag from the course, scorecards, certificate and THE ball. Tom has come up with dozens of ideas for lucky duffers over the years. Glenda Enos is going to be receiving oohs and ahhs for years to come with this remembrance

If you know anything about textiles, you know about the American Embroidery Guild and the Golden Needlers in Sacramento. After these ladies and many others collaborated to make 20 panels that would end up as a massive wall display at Shriners Hospital, they chose Abreu Gallery to finish the puzzle and get it ready to hang. We’re proud to have the faith of our stitchers.

1,000 Cranes! Receiving this is one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon you. Cole is showing how we created one of our bent edge plexi boxes to preserve the hundreds of hours of handywork that went into making it.

During World War II families of soldiers would display these little cardboard matted stars in their front windows to proclaim pride in their family’s service. How sad I’ve only had the privilege of preserving one of these true symbols of liberty. It was truly a work of love for me.
