A beautiful example of how the right framing can completely transform a piece.

For this delicate landscape, we’ve chosen a warm-toned mount to pick up the rich autumnal shades within the artwork, finished with a traditional decorative gold moulding that gives the piece a wonderfully timeless feel.

Bespoke framing is about far more than choosing a frame. We consider the colours, proportions, materials and character of the artwork, creating a finished design that feels completely at home with the piece while using conservation-level techniques and materials to help protect it for the future.

Whether you have an original painting, work on paper, family treasure or something a little unusual, bring it into the gallery and our specialist framing team can help you find the perfect combination.
