GLOUCESTER ROOM
Our 4,000 sq ft framing workshop in London
In 2008, we relocated our workshop to new premises to accommodate expanding production and to allow us to undertake framing of very large artworks and to fulfil contract orders for multiple frames.
Our workshop is run by a team of six highly skilled artisan framers, each with a particular area of specialisation. Led by our senior technicians who have over 30 years’ experience.
Located on a secure, gated private estate, our neighbours include joiners, spray painters, metal workers, parquet flooring specialists and other related services that allow us to work collaboratively for interior projects requiring services beyond picture framing.
Irene Molina Agguire, who specialises in bespoke hand-finishing, oil gilding & wood turning
