Services
Artwork Framing
We specialise in framing paintings, drawings, and mixed-media artworks using acid-free mounts and UV-protective glass to prevent fading. Our process ensures structural integrity while enhancing visual appeal. Clients receive tailored advice on frame styles, matting, and finishing touches to complement their pieces.
Photography Framing
Photographs are mounted and framed with archival materials to preserve quality and prevent yellowing. We offer sleek modern frames or traditional styles, depending on client preference. Each piece is secured to prevent movement, ensuring long-term protection against environmental damage.
Textile Framing
Delicate fabrics like embroidery or tapestries are stretched and framed using conservation-grade adhesives and breathable backings. This method prevents sagging and maintains texture integrity. Clients can choose from shadowbox or flush-mount options for optimal presentation.
Box Framing
Three-dimensional items such as medals, sports shirts, or memorabilia are displayed in deep frames with acid-free padding. We use non-abrasive supports to avoid damage, allowing full visibility from all angles. This technique balances security with aesthetic appeal for unique collections.
Corporate Framing
We frame certificates, awards, and branded artwork for offices and commercial spaces. Our designs align with corporate aesthetics while ensuring durability. Clients benefit from bulk-order discounts and project management support for large-scale installations.
