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…
The artist of this oil painting is @Malcolm Liepke, an #Americanpainter. We made this wide #rosetta style frame from three parts and then water gilded it with warm gold...looked fab!
#LawrenceToynbee, 1922-2002 was a fine all-round painter of sportsmen, landscapes and portraits. This oil painting of tennis players was #watergilded in #renaissancegold.
A tiny oil painting on plywood by the contemporary oil painter @rupertmuldoon. A little tray frame with front edges of only 8mm, #watergilded in warm gold.
This little 3D artwork from the studio of @kristjanaswilliams was framed in a white #boxframe with acrylic.
There's large and there's large! This #giantpictureframe measures 3.6 by 1.9 metres and was destined to surround a private collector's #WilliamScott oil painting.
The brief for this frame was to "wrap" the sculpture invisibly, protecting it without any visual distractions. We attached a bracket to the rear of the artwork that supported it on the wall and at the same time provided hangers for the #acrylicboxframe.
These artworks from @Kristjanaswilliams are inspired by the classic Victorian lepidopterists specimen trays. Kristjana uses the same concept, with her colourful paper butterflies, folded and layered, and pinned in place on either a white or gold base. The frame is @roseandhollis pp207, painted @farrowandball All White.
Our starting point for this frame was @roseandhollis #scoop #moulding A108. We painted it black, and finished in with #specialeffectswax for a rich patina. The internal edge was #bronzed (gold) and then a very deep window #mount with a painted front edge (made from @roseandhollis SC3) was added. The #JoanMiro artwork was floated under AR glass from @Truevue
This 120cm diameter #roundframe was made for a mirror. It's painted black with a hand finished #bronzed internal sight-edge scoop.
We like a challenge. We've just made this #revolvingpictureframe for a work by @kristjanaswilliams. It's a refreshing change to hang a framed artwork and not worry if it's horizontal on the wall!
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".
