Norton's Fine Art and Framing, a family-owned business based in St. Louis, has been providing exceptional service in fine art and picture framing since its establishment in 1949. Founded by Ruth Norton, an interior decorator, and her husband Cecil, an architect, the company's roots lie in the unique merging of these two artistic fields. Today, the business is operated by their descendants - Doug, Mary, and Ty Norton - who maintain the family's legacy while continuously adapting to the evolving art world.
The gallery specializes in conservation and museum-grade picture framing, ensuring that each artwork is preserved with care and expertise. The Nortons are not just framers; they are charter members of the Professional Picture Framers Association (PPFA). With Doug, Mary, and Ty each holding Certified Picture Framer (CPF) designations, they represent a select group of artisans dedicated to the highest standards in picture framing, with less than 500 such certifiers in the entire United States.
Norton's Fine Art Framing showcases a diverse collection of artwork from local, national, and international artists. Their inventory includes original watercolors, paintings, lithographs, etchings, and sports and historical maritime art, catering to a wide array of tastes and preferences. In addition to art and picture framing services, they also offer custom mirrors, unique jewelry, and gifts, making it a versatile destination for art lovers.
The Nortons remain committed to customer service and community involvement, supporting local initiatives like the Happy Hearts Animal Rescue Ranch. With over 75 years of experience, they continue to enhance the St. Louis art scene by offering expert framing and a vibrant gallery space that celebrates artistry and craftsmanship.
