This picture is our latest project, as you can see they are 4 large maps we had to put into one frame. The picture was a birthday present and on the back of the picture were fixed lots of birthday wishes and on the top there were painted items relating to the person to whom it was given. A very different project and happy to say the client was over the moon with the work that we did we'd like to thank the customer very much for entrusting us to do this project 

Wonderful large Tapestry panel

This large tapestry was brought in by a lady who has spent over 20 years creating this and two other panels depicting Irish lighthouses, as her father was a light house keeper in Ireland.

The tapestry had to be hand laced over foam core board and framed in a hand made and stained ash frame.

A remarkable piece of work.

Box - Framed Sheep's Head

This beautiful piece of work was made from hand made felt and real sheep's wool and created by Helen Taylor of Stroud in Gloucester.

An unusual project - 3 Neolithic arrowheads 

  These arrowheads were brought in to us by a customer who had inherited a large collection of Neolithic artefacts from his mother, an avid archaeologist who went out searching for items every day and had an amazingly keen eye.  

A recently framed poster of the whole book of the Hobbit with its owner AI Stewart.

portrait of a nun, which was originally painted in 1656 but then copied in 1886 in Paris, was brought in to us to be re-stretched on to its original frame, as it had been ripped off. Once it had been stretched, we observed that there were bad patches of mould, so we offered to give it a specialist cleaning which we undertook.

The stretched and cleaned canvas was then reassembled in its original frame which also had to be repaired. Picture on the top is before cleaning and the bottom is after.
