All window mounts come as standard as a booklet mount. The work, if on paper is typically hinge mounted to the undermount, which is always a Level 2, conservation grade board.

The spacing on a double mount can tailored to your requirements, and can me made up of any two boards to create the perfect colour combination.

A keyline mount is an elegant way to add an accent of colour around your image. Typically done as a triple mat with a V-groove in a neutral off-white board, allowing the colour accent to speak.

A narrow channel cut into the mount around the window aperture. This is a simple way to adorn a standard window mount and help draw the eye into the image.

If you have a number of images that require fitting into the same frame, they can be accommodated with a multi-aperture mount. Regardless of them being different sizes, a balanced composition can be achieved.

The bevel of a window mount can be masked off and coloured using Farrow and Ball paint, to add a lovely accent of colour and a nice bespoke touch.

Mounts can be hand decorating using a ruling pen and watercolour paints or acrylic inks. These can be mixed to any colour. This is particularly in keeping with old maps or antique watercolour paintings etc.

A fabric wrap on a mount is a beautiful way of bringing some texture and interest to a frame. The fabric can be sourced by the customer, but I have a few samples that I think are particularly suitable, such as this linen example above.

As well as standard 1400 micron (1.4mm) mountboard, I also stock 2400, 2600 and even 3500 microns for something really heavy.

Particularly for work on heavy paper with a deckled edge, float mounting is a novel way to display a work in a frame. It creates the illusion of the work floating, brings depth to the frame and gives the sense of the artwork as an object rather than a two dimensional surface.

This is for instances such as this wasps nest. Objects that are so delicate, or no other mounting method can be used so as not to damage the item. The object is simply held in place in a snug fitting box.

A double layered window mount for decorative effect. The bottom layer consists of a ‘channel’ where any design or colour scheme of choice can be painted, and the inside bevel, which can be painted an accent colour, as below.
