Services
Picture Framing
Our on-site framing service creates bespoke solutions using over 150 frame styles and 100 mount options. We specialise in traditional needlework stretching, sports memorabilia framing, and canvas stretching with acid-free materials. Each project receives tailored advice to ensure perfect presentation while preserving artwork longevity.
Art Restoration
Expert restoration services address damaged paintings and prints, including foxing removal and canvas re-lining. We assess each piece's condition, provide detailed quotes, and direct complex work to specialist restorers. Our approach balances preservation with aesthetic enhancement to return artworks to their original condition.
Sculpture Sales
We offer bronze and porcelain limited edition sculptures from renowned artists. Our collection includes works by Doug Hyde and other collectible creators, carefully curated to maintain investment value. Each piece comes with provenance documentation and display advice for optimal presentation.
Dry Mounting
Professional dry mounting services use specialist tissue or film to permanently seal prints and photographs. We employ a hot-bed press for flawless results, effectively removing cockling caused by humidity changes or transportation. This service caters to clients prioritising aesthetic presentation over archival reversibility.
Canvas Stretching
Custom canvas stretching services accommodate painted or printed works using precision-cut stretcher bars. We create box canvases for frameless display or prepare pre-stretched pieces for framing. Our method ensures taut, distortion-free results that maintain the artwork's structural integrity over time.
