WHAT SORT OF PICTURE FRAMING DO YOU DO?
I offer everything from simple wood frames to ornate frames, tray frames for canvas, and box frames for 'floating' art or object framing. Nothing is too humble to frame. From Lowry to tea towels, if you love it, I am happy to frame it.
Creative effects can be achieved by combining mouldings, adding coloured spacers, or painting. I work using reversible techniques and acid free materials wherever possible.
Forest Stewardship Council
In an attempt for my working practice to be as gentle on the environment as possible, most of the mouldings I use are made from FSC approved wood. I am able to advise on this should you order outside of my standard range. I also plant a tree for every frame sold.
ARTISTS AND COLOUR MATCHING
Artists and students
If you are looking to frame your own work for exhibition, the costs can be daunting. I am happy to offer artists a range of simple, affordable options, without compromising on protecting the artwork. I may also be able to offer additional discounts on orders of multiple frames.
Colour matching service
You've spent a long time choosing the paint colour for your walls - it's only natural you would want a picture frame to complement or contrast. I can provide solid wood frames in any paint colour or effect of your choice, including Farrow & Ball and Little Greene. Colours can also be mixed to match your artwork.
SMOKE AND MIRRORS
Anti-reflective glass
I offer a choice of glass types, from standard float glass to museum grade. By far the most popular choice is TruVue anti-reflective glass, which gives excellent viewing quality, and also protects your art from fading over time.
Mirror, mirror on the wall
I can provide mirrors of all shapes and sizes, including replacement mirror glass for existing frames, or created bespoke from scratch. Plain, antiqued, safety backed and bevelled mirrors are all available, cut to any size and framed to your liking.
