Framing & Conservation

Original antique frames

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.

Conservation

We provide a complete conservation service for frames, paintings, works on paper and objects; from housekeeping advice through conservation treatments to full-scale reconstructions of damaged frames.

Conservation Framing and Mounting

We provide conservation mounting and framing using museum-quality materials and practice. We supply decorative mounts, speciality glass to protect valuable paintings, hanging services, hand lettered picture plaques, and offer advice on all aspects of framing and conservation.
