Our approach

Fitzroy Frame Makers are committed to conservation framing. Our meticulously hand-crafted frames are made locally by our creative team of artists and technicians in our Preston studio. With expertise, we design, select the timber, cut, sand, join, stain and fit up your artwork. Every detail is carefully considered and executed, ready to hang in your home, office or gallery space.

Providing you with the best materials

We use museum standard materials which are constructed to the stringent standards and specifications set out by the Professional Picture Framers Association and Fine Art Trade Guild. Our Australian grown and sustainably harvested timbers are strong and reliable. It’s our aim to produce frames that will last a life time, our frames are hand-crafted to the highest standard.

We are best known for our hand-finished hardwoods, including the beautiful grain, warmth and density of Tasmanian Oak or Blackwood, sought after by craftspeople and artisans for its unique beauty.
