YOUR LOCAL CREATIVE FRAMING SERVICE
ICAS Vilas Art is a distinguished company with over three decades of expertise in creative picture-framing solutions. Established in 1984, within a short period, it quickly emerged as a leading provider of bespoke framing solutions for artists, photographers, galleries, corporate companies, and individuals.
“At ICAS Vilas Art, we pride ourselves on our commitment to innovation in framing techniques and styles, ensuring that each frame is meticulously crafted to suit the artwork’s unique requirements. Our approach is marked by keen attention to detail, resulting in personalized and high-quality customer service. We strictly use conservation-grade materials in our framing solutions, which means we exclusively employ archival materials designed to safeguard and preserve artworks over time. Conservation materials prevent damage to artwork from environmental factors such as light, humidity, and pollution while accentuating its beauty and visual appeal. Our materials are acid-free, pH-neutral, and free of harmful chemicals that can cause deterioration or discolouration, thus ensuring the artwork remains pristine for many years”.
ICAS Vilas Art has established itself as a trusted and dependable provider of creative picture-framing solutions through a long-standing commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.
You name it, and we frame it!
We frame original artworks, ranging from contemporary to traditional paintings in oil, watercolour, pastel and sketch drawings; conservation mounting and frame pictures; collectable limited edition prints and precious sentimental photographs; sport shirts; and prize awards to certificates.
DO YOU FRAME MEMORABILIA AND SPORTS SHIRTS?
Yes, over the years, we were fortunate to be asked to frame sports shirts from the world of Grand Prix formula one racing, football, cycling, rugby, tennis, cricket, and swimming. Each completed project poses unique challenges, but we try to create a frame that tells a story, including photos and historical references and select the best frame profile & mount style that both protects the memento and displays it at its best.

HOW DO YOU MAKE DECISIONS ON A FRAMING & MOUNTING STYLE?
A well-designed frame with a mount style can complement your art and deliver the overall experience. We will guide you with various ways to mount your piece, each idea of using different materials and a different overall finish.
Choosing the right colour tone of mount style is often down to the effect you are looking for, the type of art you are framing, and personal taste. A well-thought-out combination of frame profile, mount and mounting style will enhance a photo, original art, print or memorabilia and give the piece an authentic visual identity.
Our average turnaround is 7-10 days, and we can offer a 24hrs – 48 hrs picture framing. ( Subject to stock availability for an optional extra).

The frame measured 230cm x 130cm (6ft 10″ x 3ft 10″) and weighed 22 kg. After completing our framing services, we visited their home to provide hanging service by fitting into their lounge.
