1. Medal Framing
Did one of your loved ones complete a marathon or charity event this year? Why not show them just how proud you are by framing their medal. We have produced some beautiful medal frames in the past which can include the medal, photographs and runner number. These momentos will make the perfect personalised Christmas gift. Ring us on 01952 434033 for more information.
2. Memorabilia Framing
Does your loved one have a prized possession hidden away in the loft? For Christmas why not dig it out and protect and present it with a stunning frame? We do more than just choose a frame for your sentimental pieces, we select special glass that will protect the contents of the frame from contaminants. Ring us on 01952 434033 for more information.
3. Framing precious photographs
We all have the best intentions with our photographs. The digital world, however, means we often do not get them printed and they sit on the hard drives of our computers never to be enjoyed. Well, this Christmas why don’t you take your precious memories and frame them for your loved ones. Wedding photography, Family portraits or baby portraits all look amazing in our hand finished swept frames. Click here to find out more.

Our in house printers allow us to print up to 60” onto a wide range of Fine Art Paper, photo papers and canvas. These have all been tested within a UKAS laboratory to meet the Fine Art Trade Guilds ArtSure Print Standards. This means that if its a high-quality canvas you are after for Christmas then we can produce this for you. Ring us on 01952 434033 for more information.
