Pretty Like Pictures

Situated in the heart of Thame, we provide the best specialist advice on all types of framing from conservation grade treatments, to replacing a stand on the back of your old frame. Our consultations are entirely free and unless the brief involves restoration work (which as you might expect takes slightly longer), we aim to turnaround framing orders within ten days. That said, because we design and make all our frames here in Buttermarket, we're always happy to pull out out all the stops for significant birthdays and events, even with ridiculously short lead times!

Our gallery showcases a wide range of original art, limited edition prints and all manner of unusual ephemera. You’ll also find a wonderful selection of photo frames, designer cards and gift-wrap, sourced from all around the world.Robin has been immersed in art and design all his life.
