Antiques, Gifts, and Custom Framing
he smells of fall are beginning to fill the air and holiday time is fast approaching. In order to get ready for the season, the shop is filled with delights from antiques and locally made fine crafts to a colorful selection of gifts from around the world. Cortland Picture Frame Co. is now on FACEBOOK where you can see nearly everything we carry in the store and get updates as new merchandise arrives.
We have been searching all year for unusual finds at auctions such as vintage pedestal cake plates for your favorite holiday desserts, and ironstone, transfer ware, depression glass, and unusual candlesticks for your holiday table. Now that it is getting cooler, it is scarf weather again, and we have several new styles of colorful scarves, wild socks, and a variety of purses and bags.
We have been featuring “repurposed” things for several years and have architectural salvage; recycled silk sari scarves, yarn, mittens, and hats; jewelry from antique typewriter keys and antique buttons; dolls made out of old bisque doll parts, blocks, vintage jewelry, and all sorts of bits and pieces of things. We also have an always changing collection of reasonably priced vintage and antique furniture.
The GARDEN ROOM is filled with interesting containers, pedestals, baskets from Ghana, garden benches, and Don Hull has brought in new bonsai jade plants in his handmade stoneware pots. We also have a wonderful selection of hand thrown stoneware pottery by Bobbi Lamb plus that odd and unpredictable find you just have to have.
We love the antiques and gifts, but custom framing is still our main job, and Cortland Picture Frame Co. is the perfect solution for getting anything framed you could imagine in a frame. We especially love building shadowboxes and framing needlework, and we have a fabulous collection of moulding to choose from along with antique and vintage frames. Look at our slide show to get ideas of what we can do with whatever you have.
Cortland Picture Frame Co. is located at 9 N. Main Street, Cortland, NY 13045 (607) 756-6499, and we are open Monday-Friday from 10am-5:30pm and Saturday from 10am-2pm.
