Metal
As well as timber finishes, we also work with metal to produce bespoke metal frames. We are able to work from CAD drawings and concept images provided to us by our customers.
The finishes possible range from antique brushed brass to polished stainless steel. We provide samples at the design stage and drawings for approval to ensure you are happy with every aspect of the design before we go into production.
You can see more examples of bespoke metal mirrors in our Framed Mirror Gallery.

Expert Craftsmanship
Made and finished by hand
We design, make, and finish all our frames in-house at our workshop. Each frame starts life as a plain timber moulding, before being built to the desired size and prepared for its bespoke finish. We prime most finishes with gesso to create a smooth base, giving our frames a seamless, uninterrupted finish, even at the mitred corners.
We finish our frames by hand and offer an impressive number of finishes, including classic waxed timber, high-gloss lacquer, metal leaf and gilded options.
Sustainability
Timber soured from sustainable forests
In a continued effort to minimise our impact on the environment, we only work timber suppliers who can guarantee that our timber has been produced sustainably.
We also work with Carma to improve our social and environmental impact by planting a tree on your behalf for every new order placed. Carma collaborates with the Green Task Force, which works with veterans and is responsible for planting more than 3 million trees in and around the UK. Track our tree planting here.
Where possible, we use recyclable and recycled packaging materials for our frames and mirrors. The sustainable packaging options have improved over recent years, but we continually strive to improve our packaging and welcome suggestions and product recommendations.
