Services
Box Framing
Box framing accommodates three-dimensional items up to 5cm depth using bespoke wooden mouldings and card fillets. We offer acrylic display frames for deeper objects, ensuring secure and elegant presentation for memorabilia, textiles, and unique artefacts.
Conservation Mounts
We use acid-free, lignin-free mounts from Artcare and Timecare Heritage Museum ranges to protect artwork. These materials prevent degradation from harmful gases and light exposure, ideal for preserving prints, drawings, and photographs.
Swept Frames
Handcrafted swept frames feature traditional gesso and gilt finishes or contemporary painted styles. This service caters to oil paintings requiring classic or luxury presentation, with options for real gold or silver leaf detailing.
Acrylic Display Cases
Custom acrylic display cases and boxes are designed for wall or tabletop use. We create mounts and plinths in wood or coloured acrylic to showcase sculptures, textiles, and delicate items with contemporary elegance.
Canvas Stretching
Canvas paintings are stretched on pine or deep gallery stretchers with cross supports to prevent warping. We provide tray frames for a modern 'float' effect, ensuring secure and stylish presentation for canvas artworks.

Questions
What types of items can you frame?
We frame photographs, paintings, textiles, memorabilia, and three-dimensional objects up to 5cm depth. Our specialists handle unusual items like baby shoes, car parts, and sculptures.
Do you offer conservation-grade materials?
Yes, we use acid-free mounts from Artcare and Timecare Heritage Museum ranges to protect artwork from light damage and degradation, suitable for valuable prints and photographs.
Can you frame large or heavy artworks?
We accommodate large items using lightweight acrylic glazing and reinforced frames. Our team provides safe transportation advice for oversized pieces.
How long does bespoke framing take?
Standard orders take 2-3 weeks. Handcrafted swept frames with gilt finishes may require additional time due to the intricate, slow-crafted process.
Do you provide design consultations?
Yes, our team offers free consultations to discuss style, materials, and conservation needs. We help select frames that complement your artwork and space.
Are ready-made frames available?
We stock ready-made frames in black, white, and grey for A-sizes and metric dimensions. A small fitting fee applies, or you can install them at home.
