Solid Wood Frames Handmade In Britain

Fine Art Giclée Printing

Each piece is produced to order on 310gsm archival-grade fine art paper, chosen for its beautifully matt surface and its ability to reproduce colour, detail and tonal depth with exceptional clarity.

The paper is acid and lignin free, helping preserve the integrity of the artwork over time. Printing only what is needed also allows us to work more thoughtfully, reducing unnecessary stock and waste.

It is the first stage of the process, and one of the most important: creating a print worthy of everything that follows.

Wood Selected, Cut & Joined

A frame begins as lengths of carefully selected wood moulding.

Each profile is inspected before being measured and mitre-cut to the precise dimensions of the artwork. The four corners are then brought together and secured with V-nails, creating a strong, clean joint.

It is a process that leaves little room for error. A fraction of a degree at the cutting stage can change the way a corner meets, which is why every frame is made individually rather than simply taken from a shelf.

Slow, precise and made for the artwork it will eventually hold.

Hand-Finished

Once joined, the frame is finished by hand.

Depending on the moulding, wax or lacquer is carefully applied to refine the surface, enrich the natural character of the material and give the frame its final appearance.

This stage is less about transformation and more about refinement — the small variations in tone, texture and finish that give a well-made frame its character.

Each corner and surface is inspected as we work, because the details become much more noticeable once the artwork is on the wall.

Framed & Mounted

With the frame complete, the artwork can finally be brought together.

The print is carefully positioned, mounted and glazed by hand before the frame is closed. Throughout the process, the glazing, artwork and mount are inspected and cleaned beneath studio lighting, where even the smallest speck of dust can be seen.

Alignment is checked. Surfaces are cleaned. Corners are inspected.

Only when everything sits exactly as it should does the frame move on.

It is one of the quietest parts of the process, but perhaps the one that requires the greatest patience.

Hand-Strung & Ready to Hang

The final details happen at the back.

Each finished frame is fitted and strung by hand with hanging cord, carefully positioned so the artwork arrives ready to take its place on the wall.

The reverse may rarely be seen once the piece is hung, but we approach it with the same consideration as the front.

Because craftsmanship should not stop where it becomes invisible.

Final Quality Check

Before an artwork leaves our studio, it is inspected one final time.

We check the print, the glazing, the frame, the corners, the finish and the fittings. Surfaces are examined beneath the light and the completed piece is cleaned once more before being approved for packing.

After passing through many pairs of hands, this is the final moment to make sure everything has come together exactly as intended.

Only then is it signed off and prepared for its journey to you.

Carefully Packed

The final stage is protecting everything that came before it.

Each framed artwork is carefully wrapped and secured before being placed into a strong cardboard shipping box designed to protect it throughout its journey.

Where additional protection is required, we use recycled and recyclable bubble wrap. The remaining packaging is predominantly cardboard and paper, including paper tape, and we avoid foam packaging.

The aim is simple: use only what is needed to protect the artwork properly, while choosing materials that can be recycled wherever possible.

From the first sheet of fine art paper to the moment the box is sealed, every artwork has been printed, made, finished, framed, checked and packed with care.

Ready for the final step — finding its place in your home.
