Who We Are: A Rich History of Craftsmanship
Nickel Art is a distinguished picture framing company based in Belfast, providing high-quality custom framing services in Northern Ireland and beyond. Established in 2005 by Peter Nicholl, the company has since grown into a small family-run business with a wide client base of artists, galleries, private collectors, and institutions. With a strong foundation in traditional joinery techniques, Nickel Art has set itself apart from standard picture framing companies by focusing on bespoke frames crafted from the finest materials, ensuring a flawless finish that stands the test of time.
What We Do: Unrivalled Quality and Expertise
At Nickel Art, we specialise in providing artwork and picture frames of unparalleled quality. Our unique joinery techniques distinguish us from other framing companies, resulting in seamless frames crafted only from the finest materials, including bare wood, perspex, aluminium, and more. We take great pride in our hand-painting, gilding, and spray-painting services, as well as our ability to manufacture pedestals for sculptures, design Perspex boxes, and distribute anti-reflective and museum glass. Our expertise extends to stocking and distributing a picture hanging system for home, office, or gallery use. We also offer picture restoration services, as well as providing a crate making service for shipping works of art, organising shipping around the world, and restoring old or damaged frames and mouldings.
Our Services: Innovative Techniques and Superior Materials
Our commitment to quality and innovation is evident in our wide range of services. At Nickel Art, we manufacture bespoke frames using unique joinery techniques that guarantee a flawless finish, free from the weaknesses associated with traditional under pinners. Our frames are hand-painted, gilded, or sprayed according to the specific needs of each project, and we offer a selection of rare and exotic woods for clients seeking a distinctive touch. Additionally, we design and manufacture sculpture pedestals, Perspex boxes, and aluminium frames to complement artworks.
Nickel Art stocks and distributes Schott MIROGARD WaterWhite AR (antireflective) and Schott MIROGARD PLUS (AR with UV, or museum-grade) glass, providing enhanced clarity and UV protection for valuable works of art. Our skilled team offers a picture restoration service, enabling clients to preserve their treasured oils and watercolours. We can create custom crates for the secure transport of artworks, and we are experienced in organising international shipping for the utmost convenience.
