Frequently Asked Questions
Every framing job is priced individually because the cost depends on the size of your piece, the frame style, the mount, the glass and the level of conservation protection needed.
As a guide, a small, simple framing job may start from around £45. Larger pieces, premium mouldings, specialist mounts or museum-grade glass can cost several hundred pounds.
The best way to get an accurate price is to bring your artwork, photograph, textile or keepsake into the gallery. Natasha and Odessa will talk you through the options, explain the differences clearly, and give you a no-obligation quote before any work begins. Every budget is welcome.

What is museum-grade glass and do I need it?

Museum-grade UV-filtering glass protects artwork from fading caused by light, with a virtually invisible finish that enhances colour. We recommend it for original artwork, photography, and anything of sentimental or financial value. We'll explain the options clearly so you can decide what's right for your piece and budget.
