Art Framers
Laminate in Montagu

Reflections of Montagu Professional Art Framers products and services, and contact details.

Many of our clients enjoy the surroundings of Montagu so much that they bring their items for framing when they take a weekend break. In most instances, the amount that you will save on your framing costs could easily offset the cost of fuel, meal and coffee, etc. We look forward to meeting you and discussing your framing requirements. Please feel free to make a private appointment, and let us show you how to reflect your personality through your artworks and surroundings. With more than 400 mouldings to choose from, there is something for all tastes, styles and occasions. As proud members of the SAPPFG (South African Professional Picture Framers Guild), we ensure consistant quality and workmanship. Our expertise includes museum- and preservation-quality framing. Our frame corners are precision cut, glued with the appropriate adhesive, and then V-nailed using stainless steel wedges for strength. Every frame is assembled by hand and finished on the premises by skilled craftsmen and women. Our range of finest natural and synthetic mouldings is sourced from only reputable suppliers who share our concern for sustainable and responsible use of our Earth's resources. All frames are sealed against foreign objects and insects, and are ready-to-hang with appropriate quality hanging hardware (foldbacks or aluminium hangers depending on the size and weight of the framed picture). All artwork is mounted using materials that are acid-free or acid-buffered (pH neutral) which prevents acid damage to the artwork. Personal attention for every client ensures a perfectly framed picture. You would be surprised by some of the items we have box-framed; ranging from pairs of old boots, doileys, masks, medals, coins, musical instruments, clocks, sea shells, sports memorabilia, dolls, plates, spectacles, to babies' booties and christening robes. It is an inexpensive way of presenting and protecting artwork for resale. Blockmounts are available with standard white or black surround (and other colours at a small additional charge), and can be laminated. So go to your local photo print shop and get those digital photos printed. A quality mirror makes a bold statement in any room and can enhance a dark room by reflecting more light in. All our mirrors are made using glass a minimum of 3mm thick, ensuring an undistorted reflecting surface (no bending, warping or wavy reflections making you look like a Laurel and Hardy character such as many of the mass produced mirrors available these days from shopping malls). All snap frames are supplied with corner protectors and mounting screws. For indoor use only, though outdoor frames are available on request. We also offer a variety of framed & mounted prints and posters, as well as original art from local artists: Marion Maclean, Amanda du Plessis, Constance Widen, Kina Joubert etc. All framed and mounted work is wrapped before delivery to the client. We are situated in the country village of Montagu in the Western Cape at 69 Bath Street.
