Original antique frames
For 30 years we have been dealing in period British and European picture frames. We have an extensive stock of frames dating from 16th – 20th centuries, and specialise in sourcing the appropriate frame for a picture which corresponds to the original, taking into account date, style and aesthetic.
-
Reproduction frames
If a suitable period frame cannot be sourced, we can supply a reproduction; based on research and copied from original frames from all periods. Ornamented frames can be carved or made in traditional compo. We specialise in making frames for British artists with chosen framing styles, such as Sir Henry Raeburn and James Abbott McNeill Whistler.
-
Contemporary framing
We offer bespoke hand-finished contemporary frames for 20th and 21st century paintings. Popular finishes for these frames include paint, gesso and gilding. We stock a range of mouldings and are happy to discuss framing options to suit a variety of artworks.
