Services
Bespoke Framing
Our bespoke framing service creates tailored solutions for artworks, textiles, and memorabilia. Using conservation-grade materials, we ensure durability and aesthetic appeal. Clients receive expert advice on mounts, glass, and frame styles to complement their pieces.
Shirt Framing
Shirt framing involves stretching garments on acid-neutral boards for preservation. Custom boxes or spacers add depth, while shadow mounts enhance visual presentation. This method protects delicate fabrics while showcasing intricate details.
Restoration
We restore damaged artworks through techniques like foxing removal, paper repair, and varnish renewal. Digital duplication preserves fragile originals, ensuring long-term archival safety while maintaining visual integrity.
Medal Displays
Medal displays combine suede mountboards with apertures for photos and biographies. We source replacement ribbons and use shadow mounts to highlight historical significance, creating dignified tributes to personal and military history.
Canvas Stretching
Canvas stretching involves securing artwork over wooden bars to prevent warping. We offer L-shaped 'canvas tray' frames or closed frames without glass, ensuring proper varnish application and edge visibility.
