A very warm welcome from  Paul Taylor GCF                              

 Intaframe is a current member of The Fine Art Trade Guild (Established 1910)   

I hope you will take a moment to have a look around. You will find some useful ideas and also get an idea of quality standards which enable you to make an informed decision when choosing a picture framer.

New workshop and gallery in the heart of Presteigne

at 6 Broad Street, LD8 2AA

New customers are always very pleasantly surprised at our reasonable prices, prompt delivery and very close attention to a high quality product. When you give your valued art to a picture framer all you see at the end is a finished product, you have no idea what has gone on inside the frame and how the work has been treated. If you know what to look for, you can get some idea of the quality by the workmanship, or lack of it, on the outside. Why not entrust your work to a qualified picture framer in the first place - we don't take chances with your art.

What do we frame? ...... just about anything!  We expertly frame fine art, needleworks such as Cross-stitch, samplers and tapestries, also photographs, memorabilia, objects, old documents, to name but a few.

Three good reasons to use us....   We offer three standards of picture framing all of which will enhance and protect your art. ONE...Even at our "Basic" level of framing we always use acid neutral materials throughout. TWO...We don't take any payment up front, and on request will give you a firm total price and a collection date, normally within 10 working days, although this can be flexible if you need it in a rush. THREE...We carry a large stock of card, mouldings and glass but can normally re-stock within 2 - 3 working days, depending on availability at our suppliers, so it shouldn't inconvenience you.

Picture Restoration - Have your old or damaged pictures scanned, re-touched and printed again! This works very well on very old and fragile photographs. We re-print your pictures onto 265gsm, 100% cotton paper using archival quality pigment ink. The new, more robust picture can be framed more cheaply or distributed to friends and family whilst preserving the original in a safe environment, such as in a "museum standard" framed environment. We can also scan your 35mm prints, slides and negatives. Have stunning new "positive" prints made from your old negatives, colour or black & white.

Bespoke frame finishing - we can produce a completely unique finish on your frame, in practically any colour and texture combination, to your own specification, using speciality paints, stains, varnishes and waxes. All you need to do is pick a moulding which is the right shape and size to suit you - it doesn't matter if it already has a finish. Truly a bespoke framing service in every sense of the word.

Frames -You are welcome to visit our modern workshop and gallery, select from many moulding samples. We only use the best quality wooden mouldings and have a fine selection of beautiful natural Oak, Ash, Beech and Cherry mouldings, as well as some exotic hardwoods, finished and plain  from around the World (All from EU certified  sources).

Frame Restoration - We will expertly clean, restore and re-finish damaged gilt frames  back to their original beauty. Oil paintings can be cleaned, re-lined and re-stretched.

Mounts (oval, round or rectangles) beautifully cut mounts with plain or decorative corners, ink lined, wash lined, supplied to individuals, galleries and other framers.

Glazing  for regular, conservation and museum grade work, we stock seven different kinds of glass comprising the finest picture glazing material available. See samples of different glazing in conjunction with your art and select the most appropriate.

Please have a look at our materials page for more details.
