Museum glass,
acid-free mounts,
nothing glued to the artwork.
For originals, limited editions and prints you plan to keep. Choose a Larson-Juhl or Nielsen moulding, or a frame finished by hand in walnut, gilt or a Farrow & Ball colour. Come in and we'll lay the samples out next to the work.

What collectors
bring us.
Limited editions, signed prints and originals on paper, from people who care how the work ages. Here's how we look after them.
UV and museum glass
Conservation glass filters 99% of UV light. Museum glass also cuts reflections, which helps with dark works and bright rooms.
Conservation and museum mounts
Acid-free or cotton rag board, cut to the border width you want.
Frames finished by hand
Stained, painted or gilded, including any Farrow & Ball colour and walnut veneer.
Reframing
Mount gone yellow, or the glass broken? We keep what's still good and replace the rest.

They're our three ranges of moulding, cheapest to dearest. Below is the same 25 × 35 cm print priced in each, with clear glass and no mount. A mount, better glass, stitching or stretching add to it, and we confirm the price when we see the piece.

“The owner helped me come up with frames for all of them, and really took the time to guide me through every decision. Pricing was fantastic — he came up with a way for framing the inexpensive items on a lower budget, but they still look great alongside the fine art pieces.”
“Aijaz was helpful and patient in exploring the different approaches. I had a number of specific asks, and when I went to pick the finished frames, everything was exactly as requested. Very pleased.”
“Nine posters framed for permanent display at a nearby business. All nine completed to an incredible standard. Aijaz advised on what would work best for each poster and the setting it would be in.”

Put the size into the quote tool for the frame, mount and glass. Hand finishing depends on the moulding and colour, so we price it once we've seen the work. You get the full price before we start.
