Bespoke Picture Framing
We create tailored frames from wood, plastic, or metal, using conservation-grade materials to protect artwork. Our process includes acid-free mounts, specialist glazing, and canvas stretching, ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal. Clients benefit from expert advice on design choices and long-term preservation.
Display Cases
Our display cases accommodate memorabilia, trophies, and heavy objects with customised solutions. Features include illuminated cabinets, multi-aperture mounts, and deep box frames. Each case is designed to enhance presentation while safeguarding delicate items through secure, tailored construction.
Mirror Framing
We craft decorative and functional mirror frames using character oak, reclaimed timber, or bespoke designs. Services include bevel-edged mirrors, distressed finishes, and installation. Each frame complements the mirror's aesthetics while aligning with the client's interior design preferences.
