We are artisan and bespoke picture frame makers in the business of high-end traditional and contemporary picture frames.

We make our frames in a humble workshop in Melbourne, Australia. We use rare trade knowledge, diverse hand-skills and traditional methods and techniques to blend with contemporary art practices to make distinct and refined frames for designers, artists, galleries, museums, collectors, collaborators and picture framers.

The corners of four traditional style ornamental frames are show together, two with 23K gold gilding with burnished water-gilded highlights and two with dark and aged Dutch metal gilding
