All our frames are hand made in house using solid wood. There are a wide range of option so you can select something that will display your casts just how you want them. The choices for cast colours, frame, mount and engraved plaque give hundreds of combinations so each finished piece is unique to you. Learn more about the options and how we frame casts below.
Hand Made
Every frame is hand made to order in the wood work shop at the end of our garden using specialist framing machines. You can see a brief peek at our process here:
We don’t keep stock frames, each one is made to order so is sized to match your casts and colour choices.
Luxury Deep Rebate Box Frame
As baby casts are 3D they require extra deep box frames to accommodate their height, but not all box frames are equal. Many companies produce cheaper frames that look passable from directly in front, but when viewed at a slight angle (which you often do when walking through a room) show a lower quality plywood box fixed on the back of a standard picture frame.
I want to be confident you’ll love your casts from any angle, so my frames are solid wood from front to back.
Box Frame Colours
My standard colour range for frames real solid oak or painted white, grey or a lovely soft black. It’s always difficult to accurately represent colours on screen, but you’ll be able to view samples in person when you visit my studio for your casting. All frames are made to order so you can finalise your choice at your casting appointment.
Frame Mount Colours
Your box frame includes a back mount providing the background colour and front mount with a cut out framing your casts.
You can choose the colour of the back and front mount I offer several shades of white, ivory, black, grey, pink or blue as standard. If there is a colour you particularly would like to match, please ask as I can supply custom options at a small additional cost.
How we mount your casts in the frame
I’m often asked about how we mount casts. The majority casts (unless they are unusually tiny) are very carefully drilled and then screwed and glued into the frame. This gives a really strong fixing. In fact, although I don’t recommend it, one of my customers dropped their frame when moving and although it needed replacement glass the casts themselves remained securely attached inside the frame without any damage!
