From Rembrandt to Picasso, from Manet to Monet, we have framed some of the most significant pieces in the history of art.
Our work isn't just featured in museums and galleries worldwide; you'll find them in elite private collections, palaces, and even on board superyachts.
Every frame is custom-made for the artwork it elevates. Our small and dedicated team have the highest attention to detail, with hundreds of years of elite craftsmanship experience between them.
Founded by John Davies and now enriched by his family, quality and excellence are our guiding principles.
A Magritte painting, "L'ami Intime," is set to auction for up to $64 million at Christie's on March 7, 2024.

The company is renowned for framing masterpieces…
