We offer a comprehensive range of services concerned with picture framing. Please see below for a few of the services we offer.
We have hundreds of contemporary, traditional, aluminium, or wood mouldings available for your bespoke picture framing. You can choose whatever you feel suits you or ask for our advice and suggestions to enhance your picture. No picture is too small or large!
There are many different styles of picture frames available, ranging from simple and classic to ornate and decorative. Some common styles of picture framing include:
-
Traditional: Traditional picture frames feature simple, classic designs suitable for various subjects and decor styles. These frames often have narrow profiles and are made from wood or metal.
-
Contemporary: Contemporary picture frames tend to have more modern and minimalistic designs, with clean lines and a focus on simplicity. These frames are often made from metal or acrylic and may have square or rectangular shapes.
-
Ornate: Ornate picture frames are more decorative and elaborate, with intricate details and patterns. These frames are often made from wood and may feature gold or silver leaf, carved details, or other embellishments.
-
Rustic: Rustic picture frames are designed to have a natural, outdoorsy look and are often made from wood or other materials that have a rough or distressed appearance. These frames are suitable for subjects with a natural or rustic theme.
-
Custom: Custom picture frames allow you to create your unique design, choosing the materials, colours, and details you prefer. Custom frames can be made to fit any size or shape of artwork and can be tailored to match the decor of your home or office.
We can also mount your canvas pictures using a simple wood stretcher, so no frame is visible.
- Picture mounts: Many pictures benefit from using a ‘mount’ to enhance the look of the picture or photo. A mount is a piece of coloured cardboard that sits between the artwork and the glass and acts as a border to the picture. Indeed several mounts can be chosen of different colouring that will compliment the artwork being framed. You can choose your mount colour and style or ask us to help with your decision. You can use several pictures or photos, and we can create a multi-opening mount in the frame. Don’t forget we can heat seal, canvas bond, or other possible mounting options.
- 3D objects or momento framing: We have had many years of experience mounting 3D objects or souvenirs such as medals, football or other sports shirts, balls, embroidery, musical instruments, jewellery, wedding moments or anything else that could be considered precious in your life. We do this by making a large box to accommodate your object and finishing it with a colour of your choice. So ask us whether we can frame something for you, no matter how unusual it may be.
- Cleaning and restoration: We have much experience cleaning and restoring old framed pictures. This could involve simple cleaning, the repair of an old picture frame, removing old glue, or replacing a discoloured mount. If you require specialist restoration, please give us a call.
- Glass choice: Several types of glass can be used to compliment your framed picture. These include standard glass, non-reflective glass or even glass that can absorb UV rays, reducing the possibility of fading colours or discolouration.
- Mirrors: We can make mirrors of any size or shape using our wide selection of picture mouldings. We can also make bevel glass if that is what you desire.
- Internet orders: Unfortunately, you can’t order your picture framing requirement from us over the Internet at this time, but don’t forget you will have to bring the physical picture to our gallery anyway!
We would encourage you to pop into the gallery with your picture and have a chat about what your options are.
You might also be surprised at the low cost as, through our extensive experience, we are often cheaper than many of the other larger picture framers when ordering through their online shops.
