I have used ICAS 3 times now for 3 very different pictures, and they have done a fabulous job with each one. They really listen to what you're looking for and share great recommendations of how to achieve it. Great quality frames and glass. Will continue to use them. Thanks again.

Very helpful staff. Talked me through the options for a mount I was needed for a picture. We agreed what needed to be done and 15 minutes later it was all complete. Thank you. I would definitely recommend, superb service. #shoplocal.

The service I received at ICAS was second to none. I went in to get two prints framed and mounted and the attention to detail and expertise on show was absolutely fantastic. So much thought went into the choice of frames, mount colours and glass and was tailored to the nuances of each print. If you think there isn't an art to picture framing, then ICAS will make you think again. I can't recommend Sunil and his team enough.

I found Sunil a very helpful person and very knowledgeable in all aspects of art and was also imprest with his knowledge in the cleaning of art pieces and of all antiques. If there is something he cannot do himself he has very good contacts within his circle of all repairs of antiques. I wish to thank him for all his help and recommendations
Kind regards

Outstanding product quality, customer service and care. I recently bought a painting from Vilas Fine Art after seeing the piece on their website and it was truly a fantastic buy and experience. Sunil followed the purchase with personal calls and his passion for art is clear. A beautiful piece, very well packaged and professionally delivered. Happily recommend. Dr Mitesh Patel

Sunil provided me a framing service for a piece that held a lot of sentimental value to my wife for her birthday in March. The service was very personal, very efficient and all done fantastically. I would definitely use Vilas Arts again.

I can not recommend ICAS Vilas Fine Art in Letchworth enough. The man in there was extremely informative and friendly. I walked in there with 3 prints and came out with an order of 3 beautifully mounted and framed pictures. The man that served us, unfortunately I don't know his name, went above and beyond to explain how the different mounts will… bring out different colours etc. I now have my prints in my living room and they bring a smile to my face each time I look at them. They wouldn't be as amazing without the knowledge and expertise that ICAS Vilas Fine Art have. I can't thank you
