Every work is approached from an archival point of view so that its value is preserved. We can hand make frames in our factory from natural timbers or finish the frames by stain, gild or paint and match to finite degrees. Virtually everything is possible, although our clients tend to rely on our expertise in choosing a frame that addresses all the aspects involved in preserving and displaying their fine art.

We offer a comprehensive service and advice where clients are invited to seek a free consultation at our factory showroom in inner city Redfern.

Conservation framing

Materials used are of the highest museum standard. Whether it be mounting, designing a frame and finish to glazing options expert advice will always be given. The framing department alone has a combined experience of over 115 years.

Frame making

We have many varieties of natural timbers from the rich dark tones of Walnut through to the pale soft warm tones of Silver Lime.

We can then stain, tint, wax, paint gild and colour to match finite degrees.

Every frame is customized to suit the individual art work by our team of experienced framers and specialist hand finishers.

We have a standard range of shapes but profiles can be milled to suit.

Stretching of canvas

Indigeneous, digital or contemporary canvas works can be stretched by our experienced framers to ensure the longevity of the work. From cedar key stretchers to finger jointed pine strainers.
