This very large photographic collage was over 2 metres long and had to have laminated glas and security bolt fixings to ensure the safety of anyone walking by it when it was fixed to the wall. It took three of us to man-handle it off the bench and into a high-top van for delivery to the client. One of Robbie Williams' road crew brought this beautifully designed tour shirt in for framing after the tour had ended, it certainly made a change from the many footballers' shirts that we have in for framing. It was such a privilege to frame this medal and certificate and great fun deciding on the best way to display the medal with the certificate. This was one of two that we did for the same client.Ī Nobel Peace Prize Medal and Certificate The makers plate had to be bolted on to a previously sprayed aluminium backing plate before the frame construction could take place. This beautifully made paper fan was a real test for us because of its delicate design and structure but we really enjoyed making the frame and shadow box and fitting the fan to best effect. These wooden African masks can be a bit of a challenge sometimes because they are normally smooth on the inside which makes them difficult fix into the box frame. The client had travelled 150 miles to have this item framed. The request was to design a mount and frame that would enhance this honoured award.

We were asked by our client to design a framed case in stained oak, for this very elegant ceremonial sword, so that the sword and scabbard could be removed for wearing at special occasions and then put back on display. When a job like this comes along it makes our job so worth while.Ī Royal Engineer's Ceremonial Sword and Scabbard It's not every day that you get asked to frame your local mayor's jewels, medals and other badges of office. We also had the wonderful job of framing Sir Cliff's stage jacket for the same couple. This 'From a Distance' album was signed and had a personal letter to the people we framed this for. Overall we like to feel that we help our clients to enjoy their visit to our workshops and give them a framed item that they will have pleasure from and treasure for many years. The largest to date is a 5.7metres x 1 metre canvas for a local hotel bar and restaurant. At Towngate Framing we also have a studio that specializes in the repair, and re-printing of old photographs and the printing and stretching of canvases for our clients. We will happily colour co-ordinate the framed work with the clients' decor and advise on the best ways to display artwork and protect it from fading and the ravages of time.

We understand how important the frame is to enhance the picture or item being framed but we also understand that the frame must be humble to the image or item and not detract from its importance, it is a fine art the professional picture framer must learn and we fully appreciate how much it can mean to a client to get it wrong. We take in restoration work, take pride in our conservation framing and thoroughly enjoy the designing of the frames and mounts for the many different items we have brought into us. Towngate Framing is an double award winning company and revels in framing the unusual and quirky items as well as the more traditional framing work. Workshop Manager, Katie Herriman has just won the Fine Art Trade Guild's 2009 Best Mount Design Award at the Guild's Art & Framing Industry Awards night at Coventry.
