Not only operating as a gallery, we also have a qualified workshop, where we can advise you on your framing and take the best care of your paintings with a respect to conservation and restoration.
As members of the IIC (International Institute for Conservation), we aim to protect, restore and conserve your paintings and frames to a museum quality standard. We deal with all types of supports and all period paintings, restoring the integrity, stability and legibility of your damaged art.
With the experience of more than 38 years, we will advise you to choose the right framing for your picture, from traditional to modern, unique and personal frames made with conservation-acid free materials.
Additionally, we also offer a printing service for artists, photographers and retail thanks to our 12 cartidge / A0 Canon printer.

**New Painting Alert** (well, 7 new paintings actually, 3 x bronzes, and a collection of pottery which dates back 5000 years!) Next week we will have this abstract oil by James Byrne gracing our walls. The size is quite astonishing at 202cm x 184cm and we haven't a clue where it's going to go, so If you're looking for an exceptionally painted piece of modern, abstract art, come and have a look!
