Services
Bespoke Picture Framing
Tailored framing solutions using conservation-grade materials. Our expert team creates museum-standard displays for artworks, photographs, and valuable items. Each frame combines aesthetic harmony with protective features like UV-filtering glass and acid-free mounts, ensuring longevity while enhancing visual impact through careful colour and design choices.
Canvas Stretching
Professional stretching and framing for canvas artworks. We use reinforced stretcher bars and optional float frames to maintain structural integrity. Services include re-stretching rolled canvases and creating shadow-box effects. All work preserves artwork integrity while achieving gallery-quality presentation suitable for both contemporary and traditional settings.
Medal Framing
Specialist display solutions for medals and memorabilia. We incorporate photographs, insignia, and documents into cohesive designs using conservation techniques. Mount colours reflect regimental traditions while modern methods like 3D mount carving add visual interest, ensuring historical items receive appropriate presentation that maintains their condition and significance.
Sports Memorabilia Framing
Custom displays for sports equipment, shirts, and collectibles. Our team integrates multiple items like boots, medals, and tickets into unified designs. We use deep box frames for three-dimensional objects and UV protection to preserve colours, creating dynamic presentations that showcase sporting achievements while maintaining item value.
Mount Cutting
Precision mount cutting with decorative detailing. Using computer-controlled technology, we create multi-aperture mounts, carved designs, and layered effects. Services include bespoke shapes, personalised lettering, and intricate patterns that enhance framed items while maintaining conservation standards through acid-free materials and non-damaging techniques.
