History

Armand Lee, a salesman for Mueller Brothers Frame Manufacturing, opened Armand Lee & Company in the early 1940s. The company catered to the under-served interior design and fine arts community; providing custom, fine-art framing, and mirror silvering services. From the very beginning, Armand Lee offered a wide range of frame profiles, styles, and finishes.

In 1983 the company was acquired by Norman P. Olson, who carried on Armand Lee’s legacy of custom fabrication using traditional, time-honored techniques.  Armand Lee & Co is now owned and operated by the Artmill Group.

Customer Reviews

"I always find the service, and quality at Armand Lee, to be even better than when I first worked with Armand Sr. and Jr. I never have concerns that details will be overlooked."

"ALC- you guys rock! Joe and Mike so delicately dealt with my massive, antiqued mirrors and art. They put up large, heavy mirrors, as well as large and fragile oriental art. They did the work in approximately 3.5hours. ALC charges by the hour, at a rate of around $180/h. Thank you Joe and Mike!"

Yelp Reviews

"I came here for the first time about a year ago to get a piece framed. I worked with Emily and she did a great job designing an amazing custom metal floater frame that really highlights my piece. I get compliments on it all the time. I was so happy with my first piece that I have been back several more times for new pieces. I wouldn't go anywhere else to have my artwork framed."
