Saper Galleries and Custom Framing Testimonials

The [framing] presentation of the puppets is outstanding. The framing is so elegant, yet Jennifer has allowed the puppets to "speak for themselves." ... It is also incredible how this piece has energized the room. How kind of you to offer to help [hang it]. I so enjoy working with you and your staff. Thank you. Cathy (Lansing, MI)

Hello Roy, Thank you for your prompt appraisal of the oil painting. ...Through the years, Emily and I have always enjoyed working with your art gallery! Wellington (East Lansing, MI)

Hi Jennifer, Thank you for the follow up and excellent service. The [Gonsalves] print arrived exactly as you said it would [in only two days]. I look forward to future purchases with you. Sincerely, Art (San Francisco)

Thank you so much for your fantastic service. The [Rob Gonsalves] is great and arrived in perfect condition. Margaret (Victoria, Australia)

Just wanted to let you know that I picked up the two [Tunis Ponsen] watercolors at the FedEx office last week (it’s on my way to work) and they look beautiful! Thanks for all of your help. I hope I have another opportunity to visit Saper Galleries. Maureen (Deerfield, IL)

Thank you so much, Roy. I am very excited about these [Eickholts]. ... I can't explain why his work captivates me so much. I guess it's just as simple as the fact that his work is so beautiful. I really appreciate your amazing customer service, and love your web site. You have amazing works at your gallery. (and later:) The beautiful vase arrived today. As expected, I love it and it's more beautiful than the photograph. I love the separation between the base white color and the swirls of brown and blue plus the anenomes. That characteristic is what drew me to the rock paperweight that I also bought. As always, your service is impeccable and I thank you very much. Best wishes, Lynn (Tennessee)

Hello Roy, Well a very exciting day for Sherry and I. We just received the [Bill Mack Elusive Virtual Relief] safe and sound and no damage from the shipment. Thank you again for helping us and for getting her to us safe. We really appreciate all your help and have enjoyed talking with you. There were no extra or unforeseen charges, which again is thanks to you for filling out all the proper [export] paperwork. We are going to be looking again this fall to fill a couple walls ... and yours will be the place we will be going to in the future for any artwork. Once again thank you for your excellent service and for making this a very exciting day for us. (And later:) Thank you again for all your time and efforts with our beautiful "Elusive" [Bill Mack Virtual Relief]. She truly is gorgeous. ... I brought it to my office and everyone absolutely loved it. Your gallery is awesome! ... Your help this weekend has been amazing. Mike and Sherry (Calgary, Alberta, Canada)

Dear Jennifer, The Sandell and Tarkay arrived. I am speechless. The Sandell is beautiful, stunning, and framed perfectly.... The only way I can describe my reaction is to tell you that my jaw dropped and after a looking at it for many minutes, I did a "wing span" hug around the edges of the frame and kissed it several times. Yes, I AM in love with this Sandell. I knew I would be. It is magnificent. I love Tarkay as you know. I'm looking at "Red Hat" as I am writing this to you, and I am in awe of the beauty. Many levels of that. I am so pleased. Must have taken hours to "pack" these two pieces. Outstanding job and I thank you for your expertise in doing this perfectly. Thrilled, once again, with Saper Galleries. Pat (Hershey, Pennsylvania)

Oh my goodness Roy. This [Eickholt glass] is beyond stunning. I'm so glad I splurged again. I LOVE this piece. I never imagined the beautiful glittery bottom ... and I love the shape. This is amazing. Thank you for another wonderful transaction. You're the best!!! Lynn (Tennessee) (and later:) Thank you Roy, Jennifer and Nathalie. My collection is amazing. I can only have such a robust collection because of the fantastic prices. How amazing to have these prices with such incredible pieces. I really enjoy looking at the pieces. I have some in my office and I receive compliments regularly. I've given a few pieces as gifts and have had really positive responses to these gifts. Thank you....]

Thank you so much. The [Volker Kuhn constructions received] are wonderful. ... you are so easy and pleasant to work with. We can't thank you and Volker enough.

Dear Roy, What a wonderful afternoon you treated us to at the gallery! I know I speak for all of us in thanking you for so generously sharing with us your enthusiasm for art and your 'pearls of wisdom' in being careful about art purchases. It was truly a delight. Sincerely, Liz and Don (Michigan)

Just wanted to say that I never dealt with someone as quick as you are! Nice doing business with you Roy! Linda (Quebec, Canada)

Roy, thank you so much. I know my brother, Jeff, will be thrilled to receive it. I want you to know that all my interactions with you – and your gallery – have brought joy to my heart. It’s not often in this day and age when one truly experiences that – I believe the Lord brings special people into our lives to remind us that He is here, sovereign over everything, moving in the hearts of his people. I clearly see Him in your kindness and graciousness. You and your gallery are like an “oasis in a dry and thirsty land”!! Most sincerely, Sharon (Virginia)

Dear Roy, Jennifer and Nathalie, The vase arrived today and all I can say is WOW. I can't get over how gorgeous this vase is. You were so right about the iridescence in the yellows and it is beyond stunning. I am so glad I didn't wait too long to buy this. I love it. Thank you so much!!! Fondly, Lynn (Tennessee)

Dear Roy, Nathalie and Jennifer, I just unpacked the two Herzig's and the Tarkay. I am thrilled, a bit speechless, due to the beauty of the three pieces. The framing is exquisite... it is beautiful, perfect for the piece, and worth every cent. Your excellence, care and advice for your customers is certainly superior and I thank you for that. Another BRAVO to Saper Galleries. Pat (Pennsylvania)

Jennifer, Nathalie and Roy - Kim and I thank you for your patience in helping us decide which frame to select. Then we asked you to finish things within a very short time frame. Everyone was so gracious and accommodating. Thanks to all of you. We really appreciated your support. Diane (Michigan)

Hi Roy, Thank you so much for your warm hospitality and your help enabling our visit. You have a lovely gallery with a wonderful assortment of work. I'm a retired art teacher and now full time artist myself and it's great to see places like yours flourish. Keep up the good work! Judy (Ohio)

Hi Roy, Jennifer, and Nathalie: Thanks again to you all for the excellent rendering of the map. We had
guests over for dinner last night and, needless to say, the beautifully framed map on the wall was the center of attention. With kindest personal regards and best wishes for the holidays. Carl (Michigan)

Hi Roy, My order arrived today. Very impressed with the service, thanks. Merry Christmas to you. Regards, Mike (Surrey, United Kingdom)

Roy, ...Jennifer and Nathalie both were a huge help with my decision on which frame and mat to use that will best bring out the picture on my budget. Their knowledge and understanding were both welcome and appreciated. ...Thank you again for all of your help and understanding when I came in there. I am the first to tell anyone that asks that I do not know the first thing about art in any way, except for the fact that I know what I like when I look at it and how it makes me feel. All of you went out of your way to make sure that I did not feel foolish in my ignorance in buying a painting. I will definitely come back there again and will recommend you to anyone who asks if they are looking for any type of art. Thank you again. Sincerely, Ed (Michigan)

To Jennifer and Nathalie -- I wanted to say thanks so much for the assistance selecting a new frame for our Barbara Roberts McCleary painting. We are SO PLEASED with the new frame and the "new look". It's really spectacular! Johnny said the new frame gives a different perspective to the painting - he feels like he is drawn into the scene. Things are coming together in [our] house, thanks much to your help! Julie (Michigan)

Dear Roy, Thank you so much for sending our Britto Blue Dog! He arrived today and we just love him. He was sent by FedEx and we didn't had to pay any tax. Great! Greetings from Old Germany-Bad Mergentheim Margot (Germany)

Hello Roy, To let you know both the ceramics have arrived in perfect order this morning Sydney time. The larger one is now in pride of place in our lounge room. It is absolutely stunning.

I just got [the Braslow sculpture] unpacked and she is beautiful! Thank you soooooooooo much. Margaret (Brentwood, TN)

Roy and staff -- Thank you for an outstanding effort and results (in framing the jersey). Much appreciated. Regards, Van (Michigan)

Hi Roy! First of all, I must tell you David RAVED about his Redwing framed artwork, and many hours have been mulled over trying to decide just where to hang it. It was the HIT of the SURPRISE party :-) (well, the ice cram cake was pretty popular too!!, but the Redwing frame was the center of attention) Please, please, please thank Jennifer for all of her hard work and creativity! David and I will be stopping in to personally thank you again, but in the interim I just wanted to drop you a line and thank you ever so much. Warmly, Karen (Michigan)

Thank you again. We are very happy with the new portraits in their beautiful frames. Sincerely, Deborah (Arizona)

Hi Roy. I just wanted to let you know that the vase arrived today - a day ahead of schedule!!! ...It is drop dead gorgeous.

Best Wishes, Lynn (Tennessee)

Dear Mr. Saper, Thank you for an incredible archival framing job you did for me .... of Avedon's solarized photo of John Lennon. Your suggestions for the mat and frame were perfect. It's stunning! One of my friends who had never seen it, stopped in her tracks upon entering the room where it's hanging, and after a moment said that it took her breath away. You and your staff are the best. Rita (Michigan)

Hi Roy, I am writing to thank Saper Galleries so very much for welcoming the Broad Undergraduate Academic Services Team to the Dr. Seuss exhibit last Friday. It was the perfect ending to our Winter Advance! Jennifer did an awesome job of leading us on a tour of the exhibit and addressing all of our questions. She was the perfect hostess. The exhibit was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Thank you once again for coordinating this "field trip" for our Team. I am confident it is an experience they won't soon forget! Warmly, Peggy (Michigan State University)

Roy, Cathy and I were very pleased with the [framing and paper restoration] results. The framing is excellent. Also, the conservator did an excellent job on the old Lincoln print. It looks better than before the damage. Thank you for your assistance and excellent work. Frank (Michigan)

Roy, The gallery is so wonderful. The quality and diversity of the art to look at can sweep you away to another place. Our friends from Arizona were very impressed. We enjoyed our visit immensely. Cheryl (Michigan)

Thanks Roy -- the [installed] pieces [by Bruce Bleach] look fantastic! James (Michigan)

Mr. Saper, Thank you so much for allowing us to come and visit your beautiful art gallery. What a memorable experience for my students! Many of them have never had the experience of being in an art gallery. Many of them do not have fabulous male role models in their lives either and you were a fantastic role model to them. I truly appreciate the time you took out of your very busy day to spend an hour with me, my intern and my students. They have not stopped talking about it. The discussion you led them in was so valuable and it went along so well with what we are currently discussing in class. Thank you for the opportunity and for the complementary copy of Rob Gonsalves book, Imagine a Night. I read children's books to my students to begin discussions and this is a great addition to that library. Stacey, Resource Teacher, Haslett High School

Dear Roy, Thank you for the fast shipping & handling. I really appreciate it. I will be happy to call on you again for any future purchases. Best regards, Goele (New York) and later: The gift was a big success! Thanks for the quick shipping; it is very much appreciated. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Aloha, Barry (Honolulu)

Roy, it is a high honor to be able to bring our students to visit with you, and I mean that sincerely. Warmest of wishes, Peter G (Michigan State University)

My classmates and I enjoyed our visit very, very much! Best Wishes, Peter T (Michigan)
