Frame styles
Report
At Period Frames, we have an extensive range of patterns and mouldings, including patterns from the 17th to the 20th century. Our frames continuously evolve to meet changes in the art market and most of our styles can also be adapted to any period of painting. We do this through the use of different colours and finishes, in particular for Modern British and contemporary paintings.
Bespoke framing & measuring services
Report
Period Frames London Ltd provides a bespoke specialist framing service. We design individual patterns and provide a finish to your specific specification. We don't use mass produced products and we start each new frame from scratch with raw wood. James Dickins is able to frame almost anything including antique paintings, tapestries, ceramics, samplers, prints, watercolours, acrylic, metal work and glass.

A two week turn around is the norm, although we may sometimes be able to work to a tighter deadline depending on the order.
