Who We Are
We are Melbourne based artisan frame makers, gilders and designers specialising in custom picture frames and now working in curated interior gilded finishes.
We Are Frame Makers
We design and make truly bespoke picture frames that can be customised for anyone needing to bring their ideas into creation. We specialise in gilded, ornamental, traditional and contemporary solutions for all framing projects. We are skilled in gilding, wood carving, ornament making and timber moulding production.
We Are Frame and Gilding Repairers
We have years of experience in repairing, restoring and caring for valuable and antique frames of all styles and conditions. We are especially passionate about frame restoration ethics and the history of frame making and trade in Australia. We value the integrity and artistry of the picture frame and strive for appropriate and conservative methods when considering restoration procedures and outcomes.
We Design and Undertake Luxury Finishes
We welcome proposals to collaborate with artists, designers, curators and creatives looking for gilding and remarkable contemporary finishes. Our frame making knowledge and hand-skills position us for unique work on a diverse range of projects, interior design finishing, art installations, commercial gilding and cutting-edge frames for contemporary art.
We possess a considerable collection of antique Australian and European timber carved ornament molds for producing traditional and Australian frame ornamentation. We use antique compo wheels to make a selection of our ornamental and running patterns. We are also skilled in making our own ornament castings and moulds and can mould or carve new designs, or modify existing designs.
We are knowledgeable about the history of picture framing in Australia and can help advise on design and finishing choices for the framing of artwork.
We work with clients across Australia and frequently send and receive frames interstate.
