FRAMING

Our framing services embrace a traditional mode of presentation and a commitment to the protection and preservation of the work. We consult with our clients to find the most appropriate approach to each piece that comes into our workshop, and have collaborated with artists, collectors and art enthusiasts for over 25 years to present and preserve photographs, limited edition prints, paintings, drawings, sculptures and everything in between.

Precision craftsmanship is practiced at our studio in St. Peters, and we are committed to finding a bespoke solution to our client’s needs where possible. We employ the highest quality archival materials and conservation practices for home, museum, gallery and exhibition display. With a wide variety of matting and framing options, a full range of wood varieties, frame profiles, finishes and stains available, our frames enhance your artworks while respecting the need for their protection. This is the value we hold highest across all the work that we do.

We can work with you across all elements of your production, from photographic printing, conservation, mounting, framing, art shipping and installation.

Due to the individual nature of the framing process, all price quotes are made on request. We work to bespoke briefs and have options to suit different budgets. For all inquiries, or to schedule a consultation, please contact us.

Box Frames

Box frames are a versatile option for displaying a wide range of artworks, including photographic prints, works on paper and 3D works. With the ability to mount, float, or enclose works in a mat board window, box frames offer a variety of presentation options.

In addition to our range of supplied mouldings, we also offer custom options, milled in-house that can be painted, stained or waxed.

Shadow FrameS

Shadow frames are L-shaped frames that are suitable for works with open faces including canvases, paintings, mounted and sculptural works.

Shadow frames provide protection to unglazed works and are designed to set-back the work to prevent damage.

In addition to our range of supplied mouldings, we also offer custom options, milled in-house that can be painted, stained or waxed.

Custom frames

We offer bespoke, custom framing and display solutions to suit our clients’ needs and artworks. Our custom profiles are milled in-house and include a range of charred and raw timber frames, sprayed, hand-stained and finished with natural waxes. We are able to work with a range of sizes and a wide variety of materials.

GLAZING

We stock museum grade glass and acrylic to a range of stylistic options with technical properties encompassing anti-reflection, UV protection, scratch resistance and archival qualities.

MatTING

Our mat board selection is cut from 100% cotton, acid-free, archival museum board and comes in a variety of tones, textures, thickness and finishes.

fixings and hanging systems

We offer a range of fixing options including split batten, D-rings, key hole hangers, C-Channels and custom hanging solutions.

We recommend split batten and D-rings for larger, heavier works. These options provide the necessary support to ensure your artwork remains securely in place on the wall. Additionally, we always recommend hanging works from two points to avoid compromising the structural integrity of the frame.

For smaller frames, a single point of attachment may be sufficient. In this case, a screw can be placed in the wall, with an acrylic cord attached to D-rings on the back of the frame.

Please do not add or change the hanging system required without consulting with a framer.
