Personal service

We treat every customer original as if it were our own. Side-by-side sample reviews, honest opinions, the time to choose well.

The framing room

Master framers Jason and Kirsty have cut, assembled, and finished every kind of frame from a tiny enamel badge to a 1.5m gallery print. The bench is on-site — no work goes out to a workshop.

We talk through frame, mount, and glass options in person. If you can drop the piece off, we'll show you side-by-side samples and discuss what suits the work.
