Framing for everything from a postcard to a tapestry
Every job is bespoke. You choose the moulding and mount with us at the counter, and the frame is built to fit your piece exactly — not pulled off a shelf.
Conservation framing
Acid-free mounts, archival fixings and UV-filtering glass to protect work that you can't replace.
Box & object frames
Deep frames for medals, sports shirts, christening gowns, tools and three-dimensional keepsakes.
Mount cutting
Single, double and multi-aperture mounts cut on the bench, in a colour matched to the picture and your room.
Needlework & tapestry
Cross-stitch, embroidery and tapestries stretched and framed so the work sits flat and square.
Canvas & repairs
Canvas stretching, mirror framing and re-framing or repair of frames that have seen better days.
Why bring it here
Large moulding selection
Acid-free mount
A frame is a decision you only want to make once
The choices are made with you, not for you
Bring the piece in and we'll hold mouldings and mount corners against it together. You see how the frame looks with the artwork and in the light of the shop before anything is cut.
Large moulding selectionConservation, when it matters
Original artwork, a child's first drawing, a war medal — anything irreplaceable can be framed with acid-free materials and UV glass so it doesn't fade, brown or stick to the glass over the years.

Frame size & glazing helper
Pop in the size of your artwork and we'll show the rough finished size and a glazing steer. It's a guide to help you picture it — bring the piece in and we'll confirm everything exactly.

Common questions
Do I need an appointment?
No. Call in during opening hours with your artwork or object and we'll talk through the options at the counter. There's no charge for advice or a quote.
How long does framing take?
Most bespoke framing is ready within one to two weeks, depending on the materials and how busy the workshop is. We agree a collection date with you when you place the order.
Can you frame three-dimensional things?
Yes — medals, sports shirts, christening gowns, tools and other keepsakes go into deep box frames built around the object.
What is conservation framing?
It uses acid-free mounts and backing, archival tapes and UV-filtering glass so valuable or irreplaceable work is protected from fading, acid burn and moisture over the long term.
