Our Framing Services

The right frame can have a significant impact on your artwork. It not only provides a protective barrier for the artwork, but it also serves as a decorative element that can complement and highlight the artwork's aesthetic qualities. 

We are specialists in: 

• frames to suit all budgets including antique, contemporary and retro
• bespoke frames
• custom finishes
• restoration and reframing

Whether you're looking for a new frame to bring life to an existing artwork or to enhance the beauty and value of your art collection, we have the perfect frame to showcase your artwork in the best possible light. 

Frame Restoration

Our frame restoration service involves the repair and refurbishment of frames to restore their original beauty and functionality. Where possible we use traditional materials and methods to ensure the original integrity of the frame is not compromised. Our services include:

• cleaning & stabilisation - carefully removing years of dust and grime and ensuring all is solid
• replacing missing parts - casting the missing parts from moulds taken from existing detail or carving the missing detail by hand 
• gilding - water or oil gilding using traditional methods
• patination - ensuring repairs or replacement parts match the rest of the frame.

When restoring a frame, we aim to preserve as much of the original finish as possible. Prior to starting a project, we will of course discuss each stage of the process with you.  

Other Restoration

Our restoration work doesn't stop with frames. Our studio has been involved in all sorts of interesting projects including:

• restoring a seat from a Lancaster bomber aeroplane and building a wall mounted display frame to really show it off
• manufacturing and replacing missing brass leaves from a beautiful ceiling light - see case study
• restoring the crushed remains of a set of jumping deers
• restoring the paint scheme on an original studio scale  Thunderbird 3! 

And even if it's not something we're able to help you with, we probably know someone who can and will do our best to point you in the right direction.
