At ICAS, we specialise in creating memorable, custom-framed signed sports shirts and memorabilia, ensuring every piece tells its background story.

Our bespoke memorabilia and sports shirt framing service is comprehensive and entirely tailored to your needs. From the initial consultation, we work closely with you to understand the significance of your item, its background, and any special memories attached to it.

Every project is treated as a unique, one-of-a-kind endeavour—from the first discussion through to the final presentation—and we handle each commission with the utmost care.

Our process begins by carefully modelling, shaping, and securing the shirt or memorabilia to a supportive backing board to showcase its best features and preserve its integrity.

We then meticulously stitch the shirt or memorabilia onto the backing card, selecting a background colour that not only contrasts well but also evokes the spirit of the team, event, or personal journey.

During our in-depth consultation, we invite you to share any additional elements—such as photos, event tickets, medals, or individual notes—that can be incorporated into the frame to enrich the story and complete it.

Each framing project is truly unique, with layouts and details crafted to suit the specific narrative of your memorabilia. Once all aspects have been chosen, we focus on finding the perfect frame profile and mounting technique to complement the item and its background, providing lasting protection while creating visual impact.

Every finished piece is personal, capturing the essence of its history and significance, and is designed to be a cherished centrepiece in your home or office.

If you’re ready to start or would like to discuss your ideas, please call us at 01462 677455 to book an appointment and visit the ICAS Gallery.

We look forward to helping you bring your cherished sports memorabilia to life.

Whether you’re framing a cherished memory, a masterpiece, or your latest creative work, now’s the perfect time to give it the presentation it deserves.

  Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. I recently had an Egyptian papyrus art piece framed here, and the end result exceeded all expectations. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were exceptional, and the frame perfectly complemented the artwork.

The art piece holds great sentimental value for our family, so it was very important to us that it was handled with care and attention. I dealt directly with Sunil and Bipin Vilas, the owners, who I found to be very friendly, highly experienced, and clearly possessing deep technical knowledge when it comes to framing and preserving artwork. From the very beginning, I felt genuine warmth in the way they approached the entire experience. What really stood out was the genuine interest they took in understanding my taste and preferences, where the artwork would be displayed, and the overall look I was hoping to achieve. Their advice and guidance throughout the process were excellent, and I was kept well informed at every stage.

It’s rare to come across a business that combines such professionalism, expertise, and genuine customer care. I’m so glad I found them and will definitely be returning for future art and photo framing projects. Highly recommended.

  I recently had several family paintings restored through ICAS Vilas Art Gallery, and I was very impressed with the quality of the conservation work. The treatment was clearly carried out with real care and expertise, addressing dirt, cracking and discoloured varnish while preserving the integrity of the original paint. The results exceeded my expectations, and the paintings have been brought back to life in a very sensitive and considered way.

Communication was generally good, and I appreciated the time taken to explain the process and even provide a visual preview of how the works might look once restored.

Overall, this is a knowledgeable and professional service, and I would be happy to return with further paintings.

 Verified Family paintings carefully restored
We recently entrusted ICAS Vilas Art Gallery with a small collection of family paintings, including works that are of considerable sentimental value. These were painted by my great grandmother in the 1920s and 30s and included oil paintings and pastels. The conservation work carried out was excellent — handled with a light and thoughtful touch that respected the original character of the paintings while carefully addressing surface dirt, cracking and aged varnish. It was genuinely rewarding to see the results; the colours and details have come back beautifully without any sense of over-restoration. We also appreciated the opportunity to see a preview of the likely outcome on a phone app, which helped us feel confident in the process. The experience was very positive and we felt the paintings were in safe and knowledgeable hands. We would certainly consider returning with further works in future.

  My daughter bought me some Tom Hanks/Forrest Gump memorabilia for Christmas which needed very specific framing. They did it proud! Not only does the frame completely complement the items, the backlight adds an extra dimension to it so that you can see the film reel in detail. They chose background colours that really set it all off. Absolutely lovely gents. Thank you so much :)

 Verified Professional framing
Got 4 pictures framed. Icas very helpful with frame choices, I was not aware of uv Glass, which gets rid of most light reflection & the ones now on my wall look amazing compared to standard glass. The framed pictures were excellently done. It is expensive to frame large pictures, but worth it if you are going to look at them for many years. Great service.

  ICAS did a fantastic job of framing two pieces of my late mother's art. They listened intently to my requirements and helped me to find the perfect frames for these two pieces. I am so happy with the end result, thank you so much for the personalised messages about the pieces on the back as well!

  I visited the ICAS Vilas Art Gallery on 25/06/2025 and was thoroughly impressed.
It was the first time I’d spent any real time inside the gallery, and I ended up chatting with the owner, Sunil, for a good half an hour. The gallery houses an impressive and diverse selection of artwork — from both local artists and international pieces originating from as far afield as China, Russia, and Ukraine.

The longer I stayed, the more I appreciated what was on display. Each time I looked at a piece, I noticed something new — small details, hidden textures, unexpected forms. I could easily have stayed all afternoon (if I wasn’t at risk of dozing off from how relaxed I felt!).

Sunil was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the art. He encouraged me to really immerse myself in each image — to look beyond the obvious and appreciate the brushstrokes, the composition, and the emotions being conveyed. Our eyes are often drawn to the main subject, but he pointed out how much more can be discovered by stepping back and taking in the piece as a whole.

He shared insightful stories about the artists and helped me see the artwork in a whole new light. It was an inspiring 30 minutes — and a visit I highly recommend.

 Verified A fabulous framing of a lovely football shirt
Sunil was absolutely fabulous and his customer service is second to none. He goes above and beyond with every customer. He did a great job framing a football shirt for my grandson and when he knew it was going to be his birthday, Sunil worked extra hard to have it ready in time for his big day. My grandson was thrilled with it.
