Just finished framing this Decoy piece — float mounted so it sits proud of the backing, letting the paper breathe and casting a clean shadow line around the edge.

Wonderful work as always from

There’s nothing quite like seeing a piece you’ve worked on hanging on the walls of .arts .

A silk screen scarf, framed in the studio a little while back.

Silk holds colour differently to paper, and the framing had to account for that — a slight float mount to let the fabric breathe, UV glass to protect the dye from fading, and a frame profile that didn’t compete with the print itself.

Throwback to this beast from a few months ago — original French poster for Jean Rollin’s “Le Frisson des Vampires” (1971), and it does not hold back on size. Swipe to see the true scale of it against the wall.

Framed simple in black, glazed with TrueVue Museum Glass for near-invisible clarity and full UV protection.

Conor Harrington print, framed in oak with gallery glass. The natural oak tone lets the colour in the piece do the talking, and the gallery glass keeps reflections down so you actually see the work, not the room around it.

We recently had the privilege of framing a piece by the late for one of our clients — and we wanted to do it justice.

Our client wanted a statement frame — something with history and weight to it. So we built a Louis XIV replica frame, hand-finished with metal leaf, and float mounted the piece behind gallery glass.

Hillier was a British artist known for his intricate collages of Victorian engravings and ink drawing, blending archetypes, the natural world, and the surreal into something that feels both ancient and entirely his own. The ornate frame was a natural fit.
