We Present and Protect Your Art Beautifully

Custom Picture Framing Services in the UK

Welcome to Harten, your trusted source for picture framing and art display in the UK. We specialise in creating contemporary frames that not only protect your artwork but also enhance its display.  With expert craftsmanship, we blend traditional methods with innovative research and development to frame everything from cherished personal mementos to professional gallery installations, from paintings on canvas to 3D enclosures for sculptures. Our commitment focuses on durable solutions that shield against UV damage, dust, and environmental wear, ensuring your pieces remain vibrant and protected for years to come.

Here at Harten, we make custom art displays and frames from woods, metals, and acrylics. Our team pours real care into every job, shaping frames that match the artwork's vibe while keeping it safe and sound. UV-shielding glass or tough, scratch-proof acrylic boxes - we use acid-free materials and eco-friendly woods to hit that museum-level quality that lasts.

Museum-quality framing? That's our everyday standard. We pick out acid-free mounts and UV-blocking glass with care to lock in those colors and stop any fading. Lots of our customers love the low-glare museum glass, it cuts down on reflections in sunny rooms, or they go for budget-friendly UV filters that still do the trick. These work great with our range of mouldings, from fancy gold leaf details to clean, simple woods from sustainable sources. The result? Frames that boost the art without stealing the show.

Bespoke Framing Options

When it comes to custom picture framing in the UK, it's all about getting exactly what you need. Our box frames create that extra depth and shadow play, giving your pieces a real sense of life on the wall. For canvases, we stretch them tight over solid bars to prevent any warping down the line - perfect for paintings or prints. And for 3D objects, acrylic framing offers clear, unbreakable views that beat glass hands down for toughness.

If you're after a sleek look for contemporary spaces, our metal frames come with smooth welds and colors that blend right in with your decor. Handling big pieces? Our oversized framing adds strong supports for that rock-solid feel without skimping on style. We also do custom mirrors to brighten up rooms with extra light, plus smooth prep surfaces for artists who want a hassle-free start. It's the little things, like those crisp beveled edges and glossy finishes, that show how much we sweat the details for the best results.

Glazing is key to nailing that museum-standard protection. We've got choices with strong UV blockers or anti-glare coatings that hold up in busy spots. Our mouldings cover everything from detailed carved woods to slim, modern lines, all pulled from reliable, responsible suppliers. It's this thoughtful setup that keeps your art safe and looking sharp, whether it's headed for a show or just your living room wall.

Serving Diverse Needs

Our custom framing services cater to a wide range of clients, each receiving personalised attention. Artists appreciate our museum-standard setups, including archival mounts and preparatory bases that facilitate creative workflows. Galleries favor our versatile options for temporary displays, with protective coverings for antique items or rotating collections.

Interior designers rely on us for seamless integrations in residential or commercial spaces, matching tones, shapes, and styles through custom moulding adjustments or frame restorations all the way to custom framed mirrors. Collectors and institutions benefit from our emphasis on conservation, featuring acid-free backings and moisture-resistant seals. For large projects, our oversized framing in metal or wood ensures structural integrity and aesthetic harmony.

Each project undergoes thorough inspections, from initial consultations to assembly in controlled environments. This process makes our UK picture framing dependable, offering comprehensive insurance coverage for artwork value and peace of mind throughout.
