Called in to This art gallery yesterday, as we were looking for a spacfic framed picture that we had seen previously when we were in Falmouth, but guess what u lost a sale, from the moment we walked in I sanitised my hands, then got absolutely balled at from a very rude lady from behind the counter, santize your hands, said I had just done so, not talking to u, the people behind u, wow what a welcoming, there was no please or thank u, there are ways of politely asking your customers if they would kindly santanize your hands, which I may point out at the moment there is no legal requirement to,

So sad. We came here in the spring and the lad serving was so nice - couldn't do enough to help. It was his 18th birthday and we had a lovely chat, then bought three pictures and got them framed. We live locally and are moving house so went back a few weeks ago to buy some more pictures - to be greeted by the lady behind the counter of the empty shop SCREAMING at me to put a mask on. I would point out that this was before the government mandated mask wearing agin so there was no legal requirement for this. I explained that I am exempt from wearing a mask as I have extremely bad breathing difficulties

These guys are the very best! I asked if they could package and mail a framed picture as a birthday gift and they did an outstanding job! The picture arrived in perfect condition, very carefully packed in bubble wrap, and was even gift wrapped for me. I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you so much.

I am finally sending a review for Falmouth Cornwall Art Galleries. We purchased a lovely painting for 200 and it was sent on to us two wks later foc. It was packed well. We checked it and it was fine but a few a few wks later still in the box still packed still upright. We discovered the frame at left top corner was separating. We immediately contacted Cornwall Art Galleries. We have been in contact several.times since several emails too. To resolve this. For some expression of apology. But all calls go nowhere. Noone responds. We spent 200 and I think they should have offered to pay for frame
