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.

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.

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.
