Services
Bespoke Framing
Our bespoke framing service creates tailored solutions for artworks and memorabilia. We use acid-free materials and conservation-grade glass to ensure long-term protection. Clients collaborate directly with our framers to select finishes that reflect their personal style and preserve their pieces.
Canvas Stretching
Professional canvas stretching transforms artworks into gallery-ready displays. Our team secures canvases onto durable wooden stretchers, ensuring taut, wrinkle-free presentation. This service complements both modern and traditional framing styles for paintings and printed media.
Hand Finishing
Hand finishing adds luxurious textures and metallic accents to frames. Using traditional gesso and gilding techniques, we create bespoke decorative effects. This service elevates frames into standalone art pieces while maintaining structural integrity and longevity.
Mirror Framing
Custom mirror framing enhances both functional and decorative glass pieces. We offer tailored designs using wood, metal, or composite mouldings. Clients can choose from various finishes and edge treatments to match their interior decor schemes.
Mount Board Cutting
Precision mount board cutting creates protective borders around artworks. We use acid-free, conservation-grade materials to prevent discolouration. This service ensures proper spacing between artwork and glass while enhancing visual presentation through colour and texture choices.
