Mat and frame pros in Toronto?

Where in Toronto should I take a 19th century print to be matted and framed?

Just what it says on the tin really - I have a 19th century print on heavy paper (maybe rag paper? I'm not sure) that needs to be matted and framed - possibly cleaned as well. I want it done properly, but I'd sort of like to avoid paying a fortune (the print itself cost less than £100). Any recommendations? Thanks!

Donald Lake is a very nice man, deals in old prints and books as well as framing; and if he can't help you, he could refer you to someone else who could.

There's a very nice framing place on the south end of Roncesvalles that did some basic restoration and framed a Chinese scroll painting for me a year ago or so. I think it's all pretty basic stuff but he did a nice job and the price was OK.
