How to choose a frame

To ensure our hand-finished frames last a lifetime, we select our timber very carefully. Grown in a temperate climate, the raw ash we use comes from sustainably-managed forests in North America, allowing it to mature slowly and achieve a consistent colour and grain.

Working closely with our trusted paint partner, we have developed a bespoke range of premium water-based colours. Applied in-house, our framing department create a striking level of sheen to show off our meticulously selected cuts of solid North American Ash.

Black frames work well with contemporary decors because the contrast accentuates the print. If you like to see the grain of the wood, our solid ash frames have a beautiful artisan touch. They look great paired with a Modern master or Vintage poster.

Our white-painted ash frame is the perfect choice for many abstract and contemporary pieces. As with our other painted ash frames, the grain of the wood remains visible and the white paint works with most colour palettes.

A natural oak frame is a classic choice that works particularly well with paintings from our Museums and Archives collection.

Our cool grey ash frame is always a popular choice amongst interior designers as it is understated and smart. This versatile tone works with many colour palettes and is the best choice if you want a contemporary look and subtle frame.

Our brown-stained ash frame works well with vintage and mid-century pieces. Softer than black it goes with most colour palettes, and complements a more traditional decor perfectly.

Our responsibly sourced, solid wood satin frame offers a minimalist look that is perfect for Contemporary art, Photography and prints with a neutral colour palette.

Classic black satin frames work particularly well with contemporary and brightly coloured wall colours because the contrast accentuates the print. Our responsibly sourced, solid wood black frames are sleek and stylish – an excellent choice for Photography and Graphic art prints.
