FRAMING

Handmade in-house | FSC-certified timbers | Conservation materials | Made to last

Our frames

OUR
FRAMES

All our frames are all made in-house using FSC-certified solid timbers and traditional and modern hand-finishing techniques.

 

Each piece is designed to suit the artwork it holds—considering scale, tone, and setting—resulting in a frame that feels considered, not added on.

FRAMING

A selection of artwork is available to order online as professionally framed pieces.

 

Each frame is made to order using the same materials and methods as our bespoke work—offering a ready-to-hang finish without compromise.

Mounting

MOUNT

Mounting is carried out using conservation-grade, acid-free materials to protect and support your artwork.

 

From clean, minimal borders to more considered, layered presentations, each mount is cut and assembled by hand.

GLAZING

A range of glazing options is available, including standard glass, UV-protective, and anti-reflective Art Glass.

 

The right choice enhances clarity while protecting your artwork from light damage over time.

BESPOKE
OPTIONS

Every framing project is bespoke. From scale and proportion to materials and finish, each element is tailored to suit the artwork and where it will sit.

 

Whether subtle or more expressive, the aim is always to create a frame that feels right for the piece.

Bespoke options

SHADOW
BOXES
& FLOAT
MOUNTS

Shadow box frames and float mounting are used where depth and separation are important.

 

These techniques allow the artwork or object to sit away from the backing, giving space around the piece and preserving its natural edges or form.

Shadow boxes

MOUNT
SLIPS

Mount slips are hand-painted on solid timber and fitted at the inner edge of the mount, where it meets the artwork.

 

Available in a wide range of colours, they introduce a subtle line of depth and detail—helping to visually connect the artwork, mount, and frame into a single, considered piece.
