Our Story


Since 1879, Providence Picture Frame provides the highest level of framing & art services for artists, individuals, and businesses.

PPF Historic Timeline

In nearly 150 years of business, many of our services have changed, but our guiding philosophy remains the same:

To build lasting relationships with our clients by always doing the right thing for their artwork, their budgets, and by standing behind everything we do.

From our humble beginning in a 600 square foot space in the historic Arcade building (the nation’s oldest indoor mall) in downtown Providence, we have grown into a 14,000 square foot art destination in North Providence.

Our dedicated team of local craftspeople and design professionals, are proud to make a career of caring for the art work and general decor needs of residential and commercial clients -locally and around the world. We are the largest and oldest art services provider on the East Coast.

PPF prides itself on enhancing our clients’ spaces, with custom framing, digital printing, crating/shipping, installation, art consultation and more.
