✨ A beautiful piece, beautifully framed. ✨

We loved bringing this customer’s beautiful Kiwi artwork to life with a classic, sophisticated finish.

The ornate black moulding paired with the rich gold inner detail creates a classic, sophisticated finish, while the deep black mount allows the artwork to really stand out.

It’s all about choosing the right combination of frame, mount and detailing to enhance the artwork and create something that feels truly special. 🖤✨

Custom framing is more than just putting something in a frame — it’s about giving your treasured pieces the finishing touch they deserve.

✨ A little piece of childhood, beautifully framed ✨

We loved framing this gorgeous illustrated tea towel for one of our customers at Portico Gallery. 💛

From the sweet hand-drawn characters to that bright yellow heart-shaped balloon, this is such a lovely example of how a treasured textile can be transformed into a piece of artwork to enjoy for years to come.

🌸✨ Framed Elegance: Blue Teal by Emma Bass ✨🌸

We recently had the pleasure of framing this stunning limited edition print by acclaimed New Zealand artist Emma Bass Artist , titled Blue Teal — and it’s a true showstopper!

The vibrant hydrangeas burst with colour and life, beautifully offset by the elegant simplicity of a white frame with a soft white mat board. This presentation enhances the artwork without distracting from its intricate detail and vivid palette — a perfect pairing of fine art and custom framing.

Emma's work is known for celebrating the beauty and impermanence of life through florals, and Blue Teal is no exception. It's not just a print — it’s a statement of joy and refined beauty.

🎩✨ Framing Feature: The Alchemist by Sofia Minson
We had the pleasure of framing this powerful giclée print by celebrated New Zealand artist Sofia Minson — The Alchemist.

This striking portrait deserved a setting that matched its strength and elegance. We paired it with a deep, carved black frame with subtle metallic accents and a wide white mat to give the artwork room to shine. The result? A rich, bold presentation that elevates both the piece and the space it will live in.

📍 Featured Framing Project
We had the pleasure of framing this stunning Ode to Aotearoa print by renowned artist FLOX—a vivid tribute to New Zealand's native flora and fauna, shaped in the silhouette of Aotearoa itself. 🇳🇿🌿🕊️

To complement the intricate detail and vibrant colour of the artwork, we chose a crisp white frame paired with a floating mount on white mat board, allowing the piece to truly breathe and command attention. The result is clean, modern, and museum-worthy.

Whether it's contemporary art, cherished prints, or meaningful memories, we’re here to elevate every piece with care and craftsmanship.
