Hidden Framers is a workshop based in Bristol that specialises in everything from conservation and museum-level framing to commercial and domestic work. Our expert team has over 40 years of experience and is responsible for framing all of the rare works in Hidden Gallery's collection, as well as an incredible range of objects from medals and football shirts to Picasso’s oil palette. Our fully bespoke fine art framing service is available to individuals, businesses, artists, and galleries.

We pride ourselves on treating each individual artwork with the care and attention it deserves. Using archival materials wherever appropriate, we specialise in reversible processes that protect your piece for years to come. In addition, our broad range of mouldings and carefully mixed paints allows us to produce personalised frames that complement your work.

From the moment you get in touch until the artwork is safely hung on your wall, every decision we make is in the best interest of your work.
You Artwork - Our Expertise

No matter what precious item you wish to frame, we pledge to treat it with the utmost care. Your artwork will be handled with a level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that ensures its stability and beauty for many years to come.

What is Conservation Framing?

Conservation framing is an art in itself. It aims to protect the future of your work, ensuring its beauty lasts for generations. The frame not only enhances your artwork aesthetically but also acts as a protective case, instrumental in safeguarding your work.

To meet the stringent standards of conservation framing, we ensure that all materials used meet specific criteria. At every stage of the framing process, and with every element of the frame, our utmost priority is to preserve the integrity of your artwork.

"Esther and Joe did a fantastic job framing and hanging a number of pieces for me. We discussed the various options for each of my pictures and they had some really good suggestions. I was very impressed with the quality of the frames and the attention to detail they both gave. I would highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hidden Framing."
