The picture frame as we know it emerged in the early Renaissance in Italy (14th to 16th c). Although the craftsmanship has evolved with time and technology the core skills have remained the same for 100s of years - cutting lengths of timber, preparing mounts, cutting glass and backing board, and finally the assembly of these component parts to produce the completed frame.
Well-presented imagery is a complete joy, its uniqueness, freshness and identity cannot but help evoke emotion in people. As Art is not of a standard size, and different media vary in depth, clarity and properties individual tailor made frames are necessary. A bespoke picture framer will enhance the art work by designing and constructing a creative well proportioned frame using techniques most suited to the project.

I'm a landscape artist and Sarah at Fellows Framing has framed many paintings for me over the past few years. I've always been extremely happy with the quality of her work. She is very experienced and helpful and her prices are competitive. I would thoroughly recommend Fellows Framing if you want a reliable service and excellent results.

Sarah created a frame as a gift for my son’s 18th birthday to display a 1st XI cricket cap and colours he had been awarded at school. She was really helpful in suggesting a layout and design which worked very well. My son was delighted with the end result which was carefully constructed and beautifully presented. It is a great keepsake to remind him of his achievements.

I’ve been using Sarah for all my professional framing needs for several years now. (Art by Maryanne Hawes )The most personal service, great advice and communication, top quality work, and great value. On the rare occasion of a problem, Sarah takes the time and effort to make sure that everything is sorted for me. I highly recommend Fellows Framing.

I'm a busy, professional artist and have used Sarah Trenchard (Fellows Framing) many times over the past 3-4 years. She is super-talented, reasonably priced, incredibly helpful and always goes "above and beyond". I wouldn't take my work anywhere else to be framed and I honestly can't recommend her highly enough. Thanks Sarah!😀

Sarah framed copies of our house deeds back in the Spring- she helped make suggestions for the frame and mount. We are so pleased with the finished frame.
Since then Sarah has helped me by replacing a piece of glass in a clock that I've been restoring. Would highly recommend- Sarah could not be more helpful!
Very many thanks

Sarah made a drop in frame for one of my husbands abstract paintings on canvas. The service was quick and efficient and Sarah knew exactly what he wanted. The finished frame was great quality and has set the painting off wonderfully. We will certainly use Fellows Framing again. Highly recommended.
