Where to get frames made in Jakarta? A lot of people recommended Glory Frame in Kemang but I thought there were very expensive, in addition to being very far from my place.
If you are in Central Jakarta and need something simple, I can recommend Talenta Indah Frame (next to Epiwalk, Jalan K.H. Mas Mansyur N. 47B, Karet Tengsin, Jakarta Pusat), a small dusty shop on the side of the road. They were cheap and made a good job, but the woman who runs the shop doesn’t speak a word of English and has a limited selection of frames. Both frames cost Rp350,000, while Glory Frame had quoted Rp450,000 for one (artwork is A1 size).

More recently, I tried a framer from Instagram (@Budiartcollection), they did a great job and I didn’t even have to leave my home. I picked a frame from one of their Instagram post, sent them the dimensions of my picture/artwork through Whatsapp (fast response, great English), made the payment through bank transfer and received my frames 1 week later. Overall great service (they offered different wood options, glass vs acrylic) and the price was reasonable, Rp385,000 for both frames including delivery (the drawing is about A1 size).
