We carefully remove stains, repair tears, and restore faded details while maintaining the original integrity.

Frame Restoration
We restore antique and ornate picture frames to their original condition using traditional methods.

Jon has framed a piece of embroidery that I spent a year creating. He's done a beautiful job with the highest quality materials. A very personal service and top job. Highly recommended for a top quality, really professional framing.

I Asked Jon to reframe a painting that my father had left me, which if I am honest I didn't much like. Jon created a splendid new frame which has worked wonders on the painting and made it come to life in a most unexpected way. If only my father had taken the painting to Jon in the first place. Jon will soon receive two more paintings which I am not too keen on, but I am hoping his excellent work will transform them for me.

Jon has done the most incredible and complimentary framing of a very precious painting. He took the time to talk to us and understand what we were looking for, offer advice and then come up with the ideal solution to show this work off to its fullest, including adding the little note from the artist currently written on the back and now shown on the front. The price reflects the time and care taken to give us exactly what we wanted. I cried when the artist have this to me and I cried all over again when I collected it! Thanks so much Jon

I was in Australia in 2019 and I bought a painting by an indigenous artist which was mailed to me as a canvas in a cardboard tube. When I returned home to Devon, I contacted Jon Price at Handmade Framing to frame it for me. The painting isn't exactly rectangular but Jon was able to mount it in the natural wood frame I wanted without losing any of the image, retaining the 'hand made' feel of the art work and enhancing the appearance of the painting. Jon also framed a brief biography of the artist and kindly provided a copy of it for me. I was impressed with Jon's professionalism and his attention
