Functional, beautiful, memorable

Whatever it is, the way you frame it can make all the difference.

Bespoke Framing and Services


Bespoke Framing

 

Our staff can offer a personal consultation before our skilled framer expertly crafts a beautiful hand-made frame to match your exact requirements.

Functional

We firmly believe that bespoke framing solutions should firstly be functional, providing artwork or memorabilia protection.  In today’s environment, we understand that it is not just vintage art, photographs and water-colours that require conservation picture framing services… even newly produced artwork requires protection.

Beautiful

Secondly, we are committed to the fact that fine art framing should be beautiful.

Even the simplest of picture frames should be proportionally elegant, with strong corners and a smooth, consistent surface.

We have an extensive range of materials available, to suit all budgets, from hand-painted frames to perspex presentation boxes.  When working with fine art, we source the highest quality archival materials (all of which have a neutral or slightly alkaline pH, i.e. good aging properties).

Memorable

From wedding shoes and skate boards to Andy Warhol prints and theatre tickets, bespoke framing of precious possessions is probably one of the most popular services we offer today.

 


Framing Consultation

 

We are passionate about creative environments and love being able to work with treasured items, destined for display… transforming each piece through the process of framing.

Our workshop is located ‘behind the scenes’ on-site at the gallery, where we offer a consultation service based on your requirements. No appointment necessary.

Experienced Advice

Having a consultation is sensible for framing projects right across the board, from small photographs or needlework, to larger paintings and more unusual 3-dimensional objects.

When starting from scratch, each component of the frame can be chosen with both the item being framed and the setting of its likely location in mind.

Consultation Considerations

Within the consultation, we will consider the type and colour of frame, the types of mount available and glass or perspex finishes.

We can also offer advice on our beautiful invisible and conservation glass which will protect art from UV damage, whilst producing stunning non-reflective results.

Something for all Budgets

We offer affordable framing for all budgets, from a range of inexpensive frames to beautiful more ornate hand-painted options. We can also offer a restoration service, stretching of canvasses, or any other artwork specialism. Please just ask our friendly staff for more information.

Over the last few years we have framed such unusual items as a vinyl record, ceramic poppies from the Tower of London, Hindu wedding bells, needlework pieces, a private collection of concert tickets and a dried flower wedding bouquet… just imagine what we could frame for you!


Restoration Services

 

Did you know we are able to offer a restoration service to rival some of the best in the country?

Our specialist restoration team has been bringing paintings back to their former glory for over 30 years, restoring oils, water-colours and prints, whilst we repair the old or damaged picture frames.

From valuable paintings to family ‘heirlooms’ of sentimental value, their experience in both cleaning and restoring historic Old Masters is just as skilfully seen in the repair of modern works of art.

We only work with the Best!

Amongst the credits for their works are commissions for the following:

The British Royal Family * The Rothschild’s * Bonham’s * Blenheim Palace * The Paul Getty Collection * The Canadian National Gallery * The Victorian Preservation Center in Oakland, California.

So, whether you need a badly torn canvas restored, paint stabilized, or a delicate surface cleaned… you’ll be in good company!


Picture Hanging and Installation

 

Our expert team of technicians have the knowledge and experience of picture hanging and installation of art and we can deliver directly to your door with the utmost care and protection.

With our expert knowledge of framing and handling of art we can give advice on how to hang artwork even in the most difficult of places. Our service also provides placement and design of grouping of pictures to give the maximum impact in the room. We cover a wide radius also including Maidenhead, Marlow, Henley and Beaconsfield delivering artwork directly to your door with specialist care.

With experience in high quality frame and plinth design, we understand how all the elements of a frame fit together, so can easily identify the safest means for display.

You Gain from our Experience

Recognising the differing needs of both handling and installing a delicate framed artwork to a heavy, 3D sculpture is something that comes second nature to us.

And no job is ever the same, so you gain from our years of experience.
