Services
LION stocks wood mouldings, aluminium moulding, wood veneer and bare wood mouldings. Our frame mouldings for wood picture frames are produced by manufacturers with traditions of high quality design and production. There are two ways to order wood for picture framing, in lengths or through our Chop Service.
LION wood moldings are sourced from the highest quality manufacturers, most of which are based in Span and Italy. Many are exclusive to LION and have been produced to our bespoke requirements, with an eye on the latest trends and fashions. Many of our picture frame mouldings are FSC Certified, where raw materials are sourced responsibly.
The beauty of natural wood is timeless. Whether left raw, simply waxed or hand finished with paint, stain or leaf, bare woods are perfect for creative bespoke framing. Create a unique frame that meets each individual customer's taste and style. Our wide range of profiles include deep rebates, slips, spacers and tray frames.
Modern profiles perfect for posters, certificates and flat panels. Aluminium Picture Frame Moulding is the ideal choice for a contemporary finish in commercial and domestic environments alike. Choose the standard Art Frame for a traditional glazed finish, or the Tray Frame for a more modern finish.
It is our policy to offer many FSC certified mouldings as we can. We believe that FSC certification is the most rigorous and credible of the international certification schemes. The Forest Stewardship Council recognises and certifies wood that has been sourced from well-managed forests and/or from recyclable materials.

Just a little word of warning as the company fails to present information clearly on the product page.
If you order stretcher bars or any other form of moulding you will often get a minimum quantity of about three metres. So if you order five different one metres pieces and you pay for them at checkout you will get five pieces measuring about three metres each with an invoice that has suddenly doubled.
After I contacted the company the only option was to return everything all together including the lengths that I have already used. There was no understanding from the companies side at all.

Excellent service always turns up when expected and in good condition. Extra bonus in today’s delivery, they enclosed a packet of Smarties.

Helpful and usually efficient. Things go wrong in every business and what really impresses me is their willingness to acknowledge and effectively deal with any issues I may have. I also like the fact that they have a field rep who regularly visits to discuss ways he can help me. Overall Lion are a very good partner. Sometimes a bit expensive.

My wife picked my order up today. Jumbo mount boards damaged in warehouse only ones available, still sold at full price regardless of highlighting this with staff. Very poor customer service!

Still early days for my business, but Lion have been very helpful in setting me up. Any small problems that have occurred have been dealt with immediately. Overall very happy, just wish they had their own delivery vans and drivers who actually care about what they are delivering

Always being let down by their very poor customer service, slow to respond to issues and get them sorted, poor communication, always having to chase them to get things sorted. Used to do a lot of business with… them but now I dread buying from them as always so many issues that don't get sorted and they expect to have it all their own way

It's always a treat for me going to collect my orders and seeing the staff. Always a smile, always friendly, helpful and supportive. I've never had a problem in the 2yrs I've been trading with them. I run TheArtFramingWorkshop in Banbury, and have no hesitation in recommending this company....5 Star

What has happened!Have management had a lack of common sense transplant?
I returned to Lion today after a period of illness so wasn't prepared for the changes to the process of shopping there.
Like a lot of framers I suspect I like to peruse the product,touch it and hopefully get inspiration in a job I love.We smaller framers care about the work we do and i don't feel that looking at small off cuts in the darkest part of the building isn't actually very customer friendly.
Today I had to use the moulding catalogue to make my choices and was disappointed that one item in no way reflected the magazine
