James Dickins and his team of experts at Period Frames (London) have been handmaking traditional and contemporary picture frames for over forty years.

We specialise in handmaking, restoring and conserving picture frames for national and international galleries, historic houses, art collectors, new buyers, interior designers, museum curators and film companies - who often require oversized frames.

Our expertise is often sought by individuals or estate owners who have inherited a valuable Old Master or an exceptional painting. Other clients may commission a new handmade picture frame in a style appropriate for a newly acquired art piece.

We are able to guide clients through frame styles ranging from 17^th century style carved frames, impressive gilt frames, or elegant swept frames - right through to stylish, understated contemporary box or tray frames.

Advice based on our experience, knowledge and expertise is freely given to all our new and long-term clients. All our bespoke frames are handmade in our workshop in Surbiton.
