Decades of picture framing experience and museum quality craftsmanship

About Us

Having opened our doors in 1972, we are one of the oldest businesses in Palo Alto, and the only remaining picture framing shop in the downtown area. As one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s premier framing shops, we pride ourselves on our unique design aesthetic and the museum quality craftsmanship of our work. In addition to custom picture framing, we offer artwork, artifacts and home decor from Turkey, Thailand, Morocco, and India, among others. Each piece of art in our shop is hand selected by us, so anything you find is something we would proudly display in our own home.

Meet the Team

  • Mahmut Keskekci

    OWNER

    After immigrating from Turkey nearly 40 years ago, Mahmut met Richard Sumner and learned that his real passion lies in art and framing—not in Electrical Engineering as his degree would suggest. He eventually purchased the business, and is now the primary designer at Richard Sumner Frames. He is deeply passionate about art and is always eager to share his design ideas with his customers.

  • Jaime Munoz

    FRAMER

    Jaime has been with Richard Sumner Frames for over 20 years. During his tenure, he has not only honed his craft in custom framing, but he is also responsible for managing all installations for the business. He has installed custom frames in San Francisco and all over the Bay Area including Atherton, Menlo Park, and Palo Alto.
