The craft

Framing is a small act of conservation.

A frame is not decoration around a thing — it is how the thing survives the next forty years on a wall. Acid-free boards, a gentle hinge, glazing that holds back the light. Quiet decisions, made one piece at a time.

01 · Choose

Moulding & mat

Wood or finished moulding, a mat that gives the work room to breathe. We hold samples to the piece, in your hands, before anything is cut.

Custom · owner-guided

02 · Protect

Conservation

Archival, acid-free materials and reversible mounting for anything you mean to keep — art on paper, photographs, documents, textiles.

Archival · reversible

03 · Finish

Cut & assemble

Mat cut by hand to the millimetre, glazing fitted, the work sealed and wired — built once, properly, to hang straight and stay true.
