Picture framers - recommendations and advice wanted


Minitoots

Recommended Posts

I need to get a large mixed media/watercolour painting professionally framed framed before 20th August and would like to go to a framer who can help advise on the best type of frame for it - any artists or art collectors out there who can recommend the best local framers? thanks.

This is the painting - http://www.nationalopenart.org/gallery2.php?as=1&Aurelia-s-Dress-17624

GX on Denmark Hill, junction with the one way road at Traffic Lights opposite Coldharbour Lane. Used them twice and they did a great job and were really helpful. Not quite local but compared to say, Hendon or Hanwell or Havering, local.
I've also used the one on Northcross Rd and the one on Grove Vale and found Hawkins to be much better than either - better VFM and much more attuned to getting the best out of the work by helping advise on frame and mount (quite a skill).
We didn't have a good experience with John Hawkins Picture Framers. 2 prints dropped in to be framed over a year ago. One we have back the other has gone AWOL. Been in half a dozen times to collect but always told its in the workshop etc etc. Have used them numerous times in the past but wouldn't return as still haven't got my historical map of Nunhead back.
If you don't mind a short drive, I'd recommend David Mitchell framing on the way to Lewisham (Loampit Hill SE13). I have used them a couple of times following a recommendation on here, and found them good value, good quality & good service.

After checking out all the recommendations from my post back in the summer, I had the 2nd painting framed by David Mitchell framing 28 Loampit Hill SE13 7SW Phone: 020 8469 0078

Hours: (closed wednesdays and sundays?- all other days open 9am?5pm and they are a lot cheaper and quicker (1 week turnaround) than all the local framers so definitely worth a look if anyone else needs something framed.

    • Thanks for the suggestions! If the Angel Oak is the pub on the edge of the Rye, it's probably not too far, but there might be more central (to East Dulwich) pubs to try first. No way will Nyge and I  ever  go to the Cherry Tree again, sorry. We had the most appalling Christmas Day meal there,   which cost us nearly two hundred pounds (for two people) without drinks. It was the only place within walking distance  locally which had availability that day, apart from the Plough (which ironically we wanted to avoid after previous bad experiences with the food  there). We did complain at the time, and were given a free bottle of wine (we don't often drink wine and were having beer with the meal) but we did not want to make a huge fuss and spoil other people's day as well.  Our detailed complaints in an email  were never properly addressed, and my last email to the manager was never answered.
    • Looking for an iPod - preferably a classic - with at least 60gb storage.  Anyone have one hiding in a drawer? Thanks. 
    • Sorry to have missed this one but hope to make the next.  Re suggestions, is the Angel Oak too far?  Or the Cherry tree
    • Not strictly a new place but new to me: stumbled across a fabulous cocktail bar at 210 Rye Lane - we loved the gorgeous, eclectic interior, they make any cocktail you can imagine and will be doing small plates. Think it's called XOTO? opposite the Tesco express at that end of Rye Lane.
