Framing
Whether simple or ornate, our frames are beautifully hand-made to an excellent standard. With a focus on design-led framing, the products we produce are both stylish and protective.
Bespoke frames hand-made to order. Our frames adhere to International Organisation for Standardisation guidelines to ensure that materials and techniques used in framing artworks will not damage the image or accelerate natural decay rates. We use the best quality acid-free materials, UV-protecting glass and reversible framing techniques.
We recommend booking an appointment at our studio. Our frame designers will guide you towards the level of protection needed and what style would suit the work best.
Waiting times
A well-made frame takes time to perfect, and our frames are in high demand. Average waiting times are around 2-3 weeks. To avoid disappointment, book an appointment at the earliest opportunity. We’ll always do our best to accommodate urgent enquiries where possible, so don’t be afraid to ask.
