We frame pictures, prints and objects. Our frames are bespoke and made-to-order, designed to complement your artwork or home.
Whether it’s a window, float or shadow mount, we’ll make it, we stretch canvasses and make closed corner frames. Our frames are made from pre-finished mouldings, as well as raw timber. We hand finish timber frames in many styles and colours.
We’ve also made frames from reclaimed wood and other weird and wonderful materials. If you can imagine it, we can make it!
Our Framery is a renovated railway arch, between Putney Bridge Road and Deodar Road, near the Oxford Road/ Putney Bridge Road mini roundabout. There’s free parking right outside the Framery. Hope to see you soon.

Frames we’ve made, frames we love…
We paid homage to the incredible watercolour work of @KarlMartens by creating this wide #watergilded frame. The Renaissance gold on a red bole give the cool white frame a shimmering warm edge.
This unusual nautical map of the Eastern #USA seaboard around #NewYork was float mounted inside an #Oakframe. The front face was painted @Farrowandball Hague Blue and the corners had Ash splines fitted.
This unusual #1950's oil from #Sweden was framed in #Oak, with an Oak fillet to match. The Oak was toned down to give a #retro look and the background mount was linen.
On a recent trip to #Lisbon I stumbled upon this amazing old #framing business in the heart of the city @artemoldura.com.pt
This #watergilded frame was made for a tiny #Foujita print. Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita (藤田 嗣治 Fujita Tsuguharu, November 27, 1886 – January 29, 1968) was a #Japanese–French painter and #printmaker born in #Tokyo, #Japan, who applied #Japaneseink techniques to Western style paintings. He has been called "the most important Japanese artist working in the West during the 20th century".
We recently framed a complete set of four Muhammad Ali, 1978, screenprints by #AndyWarhol (1928-1987) in colours, on #Strathmore Bristol paper, each signed in ink by the artist and numbered 50/150. Each Sheet: 40 x 30 in (1016 x 762 mm). The frames were made from a 50mm square section and glazed with #Optium from @truevue
Our team created from scratch this stunning #Edwardianstyle #sweptframe with #runningornaments all in #goldleaf. The #mount has a couple of #debossed lines, applied by hand. The picture is a beautiful and incredibly detailed watercolour by #GeorgeGoodwinKilburne (1839 – 1924) an English genre painter specialising in accurately drawn figures. He favoured the watercolour medium, although he also worked in oils, pencil and initially trained as a wood-engraver.
Earlier this week we made some frames for @dioneverulam to be shown @cricketfineart. Dione specialises in #multimedia #collages. This week's works were all ski themed. The frame was painted @farrow&ball #skimmingstone. The black trim is under the glass, supported by another 6mm spacer, to create a lovely deep shadow around the frame.
Just made by us under the art direction of @kristianaswilliams for her upcoming show @paulsmithdesign. On display at the Paul Smith #AlbemarleStreet flagship store in #Mayfair, opening on 6th Nov.

Something we do a lot. Bronzing parts of a frame to give them lustre. While it's called bronzing, the process is the same whatever the colour... gold, silver, bronze or copper.
Limited space in the customer's gallery resulted in this framing solution. An #acrylicboxframe made from #Optium, the museum grade acrylic from @truevue. It frames a #davidhockney print.
This #pictureframe uses internal illumination from #LED lights to create the intense glow on the highlights. Very dramatic. The artwork is by @sirishill.
It's #halloween, so here's a topical frame. Just made by us under the art direction of @kristianaswilliams for her upcoming show @paulsmithdesign. This piece and many others will be on display at Paul Smith's #AlbemarleStreet flagship store in #Mayfair, opening on 6th Nov. More pieces to come shortly!
This attractive #RabbetJoint was cut to make a #pictureframe from @roseandhollis A42 in Oak. The frame is for a large work by @karlmartens, for @cricketfineart gallery in #fulham.
