Custom Picture Frames
We create tailored framing solutions for artworks of all types. Our skilled craftsmen work with diverse materials including hand-finished timber, gilded options, and contemporary composites. Each frame is designed to complement the artwork while providing optimal protection through archival-standard construction methods that prevent deterioration over time.
Art Conservation Framing
Specialist framing services for valuable artworks requiring conservation. We use acid-free mount boards, PH-neutral backing materials, and UV-filtering glazing to protect delicate pieces. Our techniques follow museum standards for reversibility, ensuring future conservationists can access artworks without damage during re-framing processes.
Display Cases

We incorporate anti-reflective glass and precision lighting to enhance visibility while maintaining artifact safety through controlled environmental conditions within the display units.

Our specialists handle intricate repairs including gilding restoration, structural reinforcement, and decorative element reconstruction. We maintain historical accuracy while strengthening frames for continued use, employing traditional techniques that match original craftsmanship standards.

The footpath/cycling track is not a parking spot for your delivery truck. I notified to your driver that this was dangerous for pedestrians and people on bike - he did not care.
[in regards to the owner's response below : I disagree ; as a business owner you have 100% control over the choice of your suppliers and to instruct them not to break the law and endanger the 100s of people who commute by bike and foot every day there].
