Frame Restoration
Frames can become loose, damaged, or worn over time, affecting both their appearance and stability.
I offer frame restoration to repair structural issues, rebuild damaged areas, and bring the overall look back into balance. Whether it's a small fix or more extensive work, the aim is to restore the frame so it complements the artwork again while keeping its original character.
Gilding Services
Gilding is the process of applying gold or metal leaf to a surface to create a rich, reflective finish.
I use traditional gilding techniques to restore worn areas, match existing finishes, or completely refresh a frame. From bright gold to more subtle aged effects, each finish is carefully adjusted to suit the piece and achieve a natural, cohesive result.
Mount Installation
A well-fitted mount is essential for both the protection and presentation of artwork.
I provide professional mount cutting and installation, ensuring artwork is properly supported and safely secured. Attention is given to alignment, spacing, and materials so the final presentation looks clean, balanced, and appropriate for the piece.
Washline Mounts
Washline mounts are a hand-painted detail added to mount boards to enhance the presentation of artwork.
Using fine lines of colour, washlines create a subtle border that draws focus toward the artwork. Each one is applied by hand, allowing it to be tailored to the piece for a more refined and considered finish.
