The Nunhead Framer

Framing should complement the work, not compete with it.

Two ways to frame your artwork. Essential is a simpler, more affordable way to frame prints, photographs and everyday pieces. Bespoke gives us much more freedom over the design, materials and finish.

Bespoke framing

More choice. More possibilities.

Bespoke framing starts with the artwork. The frame, mounting, glazing and finish are chosen around the individual piece.

From hardwoods and hand finishes to unusual profiles, painted details, specialist mounting and object framing, there is much more freedom to find the right solution.

That might mean a simple oak frame and a well proportioned mount, or something more individual, such as a painted or stained finish, a particular mount colour, a hand finished detail or a deeper frame for an object.

How the artwork is mounted matters too. A delicate work on paper may need lightweight conservation hinges, while other pieces cannot be mounted with adhesives and need a different approach. The method depends on the artwork and what is appropriate for its long term care.

Sometimes the right answer is very simple. Sometimes it takes a little more thought. A frame can look effortless while a lot of thought has gone into what you don't see.

The aim is a frame that works with the artwork, protects it appropriately and feels right for the piece, for you and for where it will live.
