Made in England

These beautiful crafted Picture Frames are hand made by a select team of craftsmen in the United Kingdom.
The British company has been lovingly producing handmade bespoke picture frames of any size dimensions for over 40 years.

Original 18th century, hand carved, box moulds are used to create authentic period designs. A plaster resin mix is used for decorations which is applied to the prime wood moulding, The frames are then carved and pieced by hand before colour finishes are achieved by a series of individual processes. Many layers of hand stippling in multiple colours are required for each individual finish. This is followed by gentle burnishing with an agate stone, finally being sealed with a delicate application of wax.

All the wood used in these frames are sourced from strictly monitored sustainable forests.
