In our twenty five years of trading we have framed almost everything, the more usual photographs, prints and oils and watercolours - plus embroidery, cross stitches and batiks - through to memorabilia such as medals, football shirts, baby shoes and even wedding dresses.
Frames
Frame choices are endless: plain wood, hand painted stained, waxed; contemporary metal frames, traditional gold, swept frames - the choice is yours.
Mountboard
Our chosen mounting board is Bainbridge Alphamat Artcare, a conservation quality board from America which comes in a fabulous range of colours and textures. We are also proud to offer a traditional hand painted washline for mounting, where appropriate.
Conservation framing
We use conservation quality materials to protect our customers work from harmful acids and, where appropriate, harmful ultra violet rays. Our mountboards, barrier paper, backing boards and tapes are chosen to be non harmful and we can offer a range of glass and acrylic products with varying degrees of protection.
3D Items
For items such as medals, football shirts etc, we use box or deep rebate framing, ensuring that the glass is not in contact with the item being framed. see framing gallery
Cross Stitch
Both cross stitch and embroidery works are stretched using the correct lacing method, over acid free board and, as with all fabric pieces including football shirts, we aim to make the process fully reversible. see framing gallery
Restoration
Where an item of artwork has suffered damage, whether through insect infestation, damp or the perils of old age, we will request a quotation from one of several professional conservators with whom we have long established relationships.
