We create tailored frames using premium materials, including contemporary metal and traditional wooden mouldings. Services include canvas stretching, 3D object framing, and restoration of existing frames. Our workshop stocks Nielsen and Bainbridge ranges, with access to over 1,000 moulding options for unique, high-quality finishes.
