Bespoke Framing
Our bespoke framing service creates tailored solutions for any item, from traditional artwork to unconventional memorabilia. Using conservation-grade materials, we ensure longevity while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Each frame is crafted to complement both the artwork and the client's interior space.
Conservation Framing
Certified by the Fine Art Trade Guild, our conservation framing uses acid-free mounts and reversible techniques to protect valuable artwork. This specialist service prevents deterioration while maintaining the item's original condition for future generations.
Custom Mounts
We offer made-to-measure mounts with precision cutting for irregular shapes and multiple items. Our service includes colour-matching to interiors and while-you-wait mount adjustments for immediate framing needs.
Memorabilia Framing
Specialising in sports, military, and personal memorabilia, we frame items like signed jerseys, medals, and clothing. Our techniques ensure structural support while highlighting the sentimental value of these cherished possessions.
Artwork Sales
Our gallery showcases works from local and established artists, available for purchase both in-store and online. The collection includes contemporary prints and original pieces suitable for residential and commercial spaces.

I was looking for a bespoke size mount that I had trouble finding online and remembered that these were in Blandford. I'm glad I did! Mounts cut to any size, while you wait and really reasonable price to boot! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thank you Forum Framers!
