OUR HISTORY

In 1992, Oak Ridge Gallery was established and purchased by Sandra Cronbaugh in historic Amana, IA.  In 2003, the gallery was renamed von Essen Galerie after my family name.  In 2015, we developed our online store and our “come to you” to design your home and framing.

Custom Framing is an integral part of von Essen Galerie.  Adhering to strict conservation methods, all materials are art friendly from acid free boards and hinging materials to ultraviolet protective glass.

von Essen Galerie  has years of picture framing experience to help you select the right frame for your artwork. We offer quality framing at an affordable price.  Contact us schedule an appointment to come to you!

von Essen Galerie is committed beyond selecting a frame and putting a mat on your artwork.  We want to work with each client to determine their needs, tastes and budget.
