We welcome enquiries from Artists, Photographers and Needle workers.

Having put much effort and skill into producing an ‘artwork’ you owe it to yourself to display your work to best effect – we can help you to do this.

Our Price

Our framing prices ensure that we give our customers best value for money.

Our Framing Service

We offer a personal framing service. Every frame is custom made for each picture by our *Commended Framer, based in Cockington Court in the picture postcard village of Cockington in Torquay. Your artwork will receive careful attention while it is being framed and only quality products used to ensure the finished picture meets the required Guild standard.
* This qualification is awarded to framers who have successfully completed a stringent test set by the Fine Art Trade Guild in the UK.

Your choice!

We have displayed a small selection of contemporary picture frames in the Picture Frame Gallery that we think will meet most tastes and complement your interior decorations. The frames will also help enhance the look of your selected artwork to best effect. But if you prefer a different frame then please let us know. We can source a wide verity of frames and mounts and will be happy to discuss your requirements and tell you if there is any additional cost.

Custom Frames

Custom framing your picture gives a superior result and allows you to choose from a range of mouldings and mount options. Custom made frames also accommodate any print or piece of artwork in the Ark Gallery range so is the only option for non standard size images.

Mounts

We offer a range of complimentary mount options to go with your chosen frame. Our mountboard, manufactured in the UK, has an acid-free core that helps maintain its clean crisp look, therefore never looking old and tired.
The backing paper of the mount board (that part that comes into contact with the artwork) is acid-free, which prevents any damage that could be caused by using an inferior product.

Glazing

We offer four types of glazing for your picture, in glass and non-reflective glass as well as Perspex and non-reflective Perspex.

How we do it

• All artwork is mounted to Fine Art Trade Guild commended or conservation level.
• This means that all Giclee prints and paintings on fine art paper are hung and a conservation barrier board is used.
• The mount board of your choice is cut to fit your image perfectly allowing for title, artist name etc. to be seen, the window mount is then attached to the undermount board.
• The moulding is precision cut and the glazing inserted.
• The picture is assembled complete with fittings for hanging.

We also supply Ready-made picture frames for customers looking for a real budget price framed picture. These work well with our budget priced prints.
