LOCAL CREATIVE FRAMING SINCE 1984

Our thirty-eight years of fine art knowledge enable us to develop a comprehensive list of services with advice on professional picture framing—a bespoke creative framing solution with a choice of standard frame profiles to beautiful handcrafted custom-made profile styles. We frame original artworks, ranging from contemporary to traditional paintings in oil, watercolour, pastel and sketch drawings; mount and frame pictures; collectable limited edition prints and precious sentimental photographs; and prize awards to certificates.

DO YOU FRAME MEMORABILIA AND SPORTS SHIRT?

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 Each completed project poses unique challenges, but we try to create a frame that tells a story, including photos and historical references and select the best frame profile & mount style that both protects the memento and displays it at its best.

WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE 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).
