The Fine Art Trade Guild
Make sure your art is to be protected for future generations to enjoy by letting our expert, Guild Commended Framers, hand craft your picture frame from conservation grade materials and high precision equipment.
We are members of the Fine Art Trade Guild, the body responsible for maintaining quality within the framing and art industry.
Our qualified framers have demonstrated their commitment to your artwork by taking the GCF exam.
The Fine Art Trade Guild is the trade association for the art and framing industry.
The art and framing industry comprises artists, art publishers, galleries, art shops, picture retailers, framers, restorers, and manufacturers and suppliers to the trade; in effect, everyone involved in bringing pictures to your walls!
The Fine Art Trade Guild develops and maintains internationally recognised standards including Print Standards, Framing Standards (Five Levels of Framing), Mount board Standards and guidelines for Tapes and Adhesives in framing.
The Fine Art Trade Guild manages the vocational qualification programme for framers, who can become Guild Commended Framers (GCF) with Advanced qualification options in specialist skills.
Guild framers can help you enhance, protect and display your souvenirs, memorabilia and collections to best effect.
Our professional framing and mounting will enhance your art and photos - you'll be amazed what a difference a frame makes.

Safety
We understand that safety is one of the key issues when making any product purchase for schools, as such we offer a range of products to help eliminate the risk posed to children. We have a range of
security fixings
which fix the frames to the wall securely, preventing them from falling when brushed.
As standard we also sell our custom frames and many of our ready-made frames with crystal clear acrylic glazing, instead of glass. This material is much safer and will not smash like glass when knocked making them much safer in public places.
