FRAMING


Our framing workshop has been making bespoke, made to order frames for over 35 years. We understand the appropriate presentation of works of art and the need for a well-made and well considered frame.

We can frame to museum standard and over the years have framed everything from medieval panels and 18th century paintings to contemporary artworks, family photographs, medals, miners gala banners, posters and textiles. We can also work with older frames, repairing and regilding as required.

Offering a huge range of styles (some of which are handmade in-house designs and finishes), we will advise and guide you through your choice of the most suitable style of frame, both for the item and for you, completing the work with meticulous care and attention to detail. We have hundreds of options of mouldings and mountboards, as well as a range of specialist glazing.

There are many choices and variations to suit personal tastes and budgets, but we have plenty of experience giving advice on framing and finding the framing option that complements the work best.

We also offer a picture hanging service and can arrange to visit framing clients at their home.

For the best service, please contact us to book a framing appointment either at our Gallery in Newcastle City Centre or our Birtley workshop to discuss your requirements.

    At Gallagher & Turner we also restore damaged frames; including replacing or mending lost or broken areas and either completely re-gilding or gently toning in to the existing finish.

  • GLAZING PRODUCTS

    We can offer bespoke advice on a range of materials that you might want to consider as an alternative to plain glass, including acrylic, museum quality glass and others..

    Mounts and backing are an important element in the framing process.  We offer tailored advice for every situation, and individually hand cut our mounts for a perfect finish.
