Frequently asked questions
Home / Frequently asked questions
Do you gild with real gold leaf?
Yes. We gild frames by hand with real gold leaf, for a depth and shine that a machine finish cannot match.
Do you work for galleries and the trade?
Yes. We frame and restore for homes, galleries and the trade, and advise on moulding, mount and finish.
Can you frame to conserve a picture?
Yes. We frame to conserve a picture properly, with mounts and glass to protect the work.
What does a bespoke frame cost?
It depends on the moulding, the size and the finish. Describe the picture and we will give you a clear price.
Do you make frames to measure?
Yes. We make frames to measure to suit the picture and the room, cut, joined and finished by hand. Bring the picture in and we will advise and prepare a quote.
Can you restore an old frame?
Often, yes. We repair, re-gild and make good old frames, respecting the frame and the maker. Show us the frame and we will advise.
How do I get started?
Visit the workshop or bring a picture in. We advise on the frame and give you a clear quote before any work.
