An introduction into our bespoke, handmade framing service.
We believe that bespoke framing solutions should be specific to each body of work to ensure the frame compliments the image.
Our professional framers understand the requirements for conservation picture framing of photographs and fine art work.
Each one of our frames is handmade and made to measure. This means you do not have to stick to standard photographic sizes or A-Sizes; you can print and frame any size or format you wish.

More about the styles we offer
We offer different framing styles including but not limited to:
- Traditional frames
- Box frames
- Float frames
- Tray frames
In our standard frames, if a window mount is not being used, we will place a small fillet in the frame to keep the artwork away from the glass.
This is important to ensure the artwork does not stick to the glass if there is any moisture in the air or environment where the framed print is on display. All of our frames will be taped and sealed at the back of the frame.

Finishing options
When choosing a natural wood frame there are many different finishing options that we can apply including: Wax, Shellac, a hand-sprayed finish and more.
We also offer closed corners, which is where the corner joint is completely invisible.
Glass
There are also several options of glass that can be used to increase the archival properties of the frame, including:
- Low reflective art glass
- Conservation Clear
- Museum glass (this choice offers the ultimate protection)
