Services
Bespoke Framing
We create tailored picture frames using premium wood and aluminium materials, ensuring each design complements both the artwork and its intended environment. Our specialists consider lighting, room decor, and client preferences to deliver unique, durable displays. With access to Nielsen aluminium and bespoke handmade options, we cater to traditional and contemporary tastes while maintaining structural integrity for long-term preservation.
Flower Preservation
Our professional drying and framing service transforms sentimental flowers into lasting artworks. Using a 16-week preservation process, we maintain the natural beauty of wedding bouquets, funeral tributes, and special occasion blooms. Clients select from various mounting and framing options to create personalised keepsakes that capture the emotional significance of their preserved flowers for generations to appreciate.
Canvas Stretching
We prepare canvases for framing by stretching them over custom-built frames, ensuring taut, wrinkle-free presentation. This service accommodates both new artworks and existing pieces requiring restoration. Our specialists use archival-grade materials to prevent warping or sagging over time, providing a professional foundation for gallery-quality display in residential or commercial settings.
Readymade Frames
Our collection includes ready-to-purchase frames in various styles, including Nielsen aluminium and wooden options. These pre-sized frames suit standard artwork dimensions while offering high-quality construction. Customers can browse in-store or online for immediate framing solutions, with additional customisation available through our mounting and glass enhancement services for improved presentation.
Memorabilia Framing
We specialise in framing three-dimensional objects like sports shirts, medals, and heirlooms using deep-box frames. This technique protects delicate items while creating visually striking displays. Our team designs layouts that balance memorabilia with complementary backgrounds and lighting, ensuring each piece tells its story effectively while remaining preserved against environmental damage over time.

I had my wedding bouquet preserved by Bev. Everything from start to finish was wonderful. My flowers look amazing and are a beautiful reminder of our day. I recommend upgrading to art glass as you can't tell the glass is there.

We had a selection of historic documents belonging to a beloved Great Aunt and Bev advised us on the best way to display and preserve them. The finished product is perfect and Bev took a genuine interest in the subject which made the experience so enjoyable. Would definitely recommend!

We had quite a large and non-standard sized print framed. Really pleased with the result. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly and it's a lovely shop to visit.
