The Foundation (1971)

Abbot Art was founded by Rahman Jalili, a civil engineer with a passion for the arts, in 1971 on Abbot Road in Smithtown, New York located in Long Island. His engineering background established our core philosophy: structural integrity is as important as aesthetic beauty.

We have long since moved our factory and warehouse to a larger location to serve our extensive clientele, but the engineering principles remain the backbone of our operation.

The Visionary Eye

Mastery at Abbot Art is a continuous lineage. Working alongside Rashid, Director and Chief Curator Jason J. Duke translates decades of physical craftsmanship into a modern digital experience. With an uncompromising eye for spatial relationships, Jason hand-selects the framing architecture for every collection on our platform. From deep shadowboxes to sleek float frames, his curation bridges the gap between the tactile gallery and the digital showroom—ensuring that every frame elevates the art within.
