Guild Certified Framer

Use a professional framer

As one of a small minority of picture framers certified by the industry standards body The Fine Art Trade Guild, I provide high quality service coupled with top craftsmanship that can’t be matched by your average high street framer. As a conservation framing specialist, you can be sure your work will be handled with confidence and the correct methods and materials so that it will be preserved for future generations.

Specialising predominantly in bare wood profiles, I can hand stain, wax and paint frames to a wide variety of different colours and finishes to offer a versatile service tailored specifically to your projects requirements. I also stock a selection of pre-finished mouldings and a wide range of mountboards which can also be hand decorated.
