Explore our gallery of traditional, contemporary and custom frames. Over the years we have developed many unique profile designs and exclusive finishes in conjunction with leading artists, art dealers and collectors. Exclusive to Pure and Applied is our carefully designed range of 18th/19th century "Hogarth" profiles in cherry, lime and pine from pearwood and pine originals.
Canvas Stretching
Report
Artists, galleries and collectors often have artworks that been transported or rolled up in tubes and need to be re-stretched ready for framing, exhibition or display. Re-stretching painted canvases requires skill, patience and careful measurement. We check the amount of turnover available on the canvas, the condition of the paint layer, the square of the image and any bowing of sides caused by previous, inadequate stretchers.
Textile Conservation
Report
We work with textile conservation experts who specialise in the care, repair, preparation, mounting and display of historic textiles for exhibition. Textiles are particularly susceptible over time, to deterioration for a variety of reasons; wear and tear through use, exposure to light, insects, poor mounting.
