Picture Framing

Whatever your framing need we will offer a solution here at In a Frame in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire; right on the border between Essex and Hertfordshire. We offer a custom picture framing service and all our work is completed on the premises by our qualified picture framer.

Your artwork, whether an original or reproduction, will be professionally framed to the highest standard using only quality materials.

We frame prints, photography, posters, watercolours, pastels and tapestries, in fact virtually any medium you wish to have beautifully presented to enhance your home or business.

We have a wide range of frames from which to choose. These include popular barewood frames in Ash and Oak which we can hand-finish with wood stain, natural beeswax, acrylic paint or paints that give an almost metallic contemporary finish. We shall be delighted to finish your frame in a colour or colours of your choice and can suggest innovative finishes to give you a unique picture frame. We also stock the more traditional frames of course!

We also have a good selection of Aluminium frames in varying but contemporary profiles and colours. These look very smart in an office environment as well as setting off large posters in the home. The deep rebate aluminium frames are very popular for object framing where more frame space is needed.

Tapestries (Needlepoint) and Cross Stitch

These are hand stretched and laced. The lacing method is used to prolong the life of your tapestry or cross stitch. Many framers use staples when securing needlework art but we prefer the more traditional lacing method which avoids potential corrosive and puncture damage to your artwork. After all, you have probably invested many hours in creating your tapestry. Why not have it framed with care?
