Maps, obviously, are not watercolours or oil paintings. We feel they require an honest simple moulding that enhances the map but does not compete with it and draws the eye in. To this end we produce the moulding in our own workshop. As well as the front we pay attention to the back of the frames, they are all strutted.
The vast majority we frame in a hand finished black with a gold slip. Though the gold slip is optional we would recommend it as it lifts the map out.

Additionally we offer veneered mouldings in Birds Eye Maple, Rosewood, Walnut etc. The veneer is laid and clamped in the traditional way using glue that penetrates the wood. We do this in our own
workshop as it ensures that the veneer does not peel off in our dry centrally heated houses as veneer applied using impact adhesive can do.
