are never outsourced to other facilities. That’ s rare for a frame shop.”
According to Brendan, smaller shops often can’ t provide this level of service while keeping that highly custom quality to clients due to their size.“ There are twenty some-odd frame shops in Rhode Island, but only a few have the capabilities of offering decor solutions for a whole home,” he says.“ We are one of them. We made over 10,000 frames last year and that’ s amazing.”
ART CONSULTATIONS ARE A BREEZE With a staff consisting of artists, there’ s no question too niche for Crestar when it comes to artwork, photography and installation. They are trained to treat clients’ projects with conservation and the clients’ tastes in mind. The shop has Candita Clayton Gallery within the building, providing local artwork curation, estate services for collectors and business courses for artists.
Crestar also offers extensive printing services through its partnership with an art publisher, allowing clients to source custom art prints, wall coverings, mirrors and more.“ These designs can be customized in size, color tonality and more,” says Brendan.“ Each design is assured to be unique to you or your clients’ homes.”
The Crestar team prides itself on offering clients the ability to print photos straight from their phones or restore damaged ones. As a Canon certified print lab, Crestar ensures every print, art reproduction or high-resolution scan exceeds expectations.
Ultimately, Crestar’ s success comes down to its combination of artistry, hospitality and scale, a rare mix that draws homeowners, collectors and designers alike to its East Greenwich location. ◆
