Exemplary expertise and customer service
We’ve been delighted with the quality of service received from the Caversham Picture Framer. As we’ve been framing and reframing treasured pictures over the last year, Lydia has provided wonderful creative advice and made the whole process exciting and rewarding. When one challenging framing project didn’t go to plan immediately, the CPF took swift action to resolve to our satisfaction and we wouldn’t consider going anywhere else. Lydia’s knowledge and understanding of art and materials and the entire framing process has given us complete confidence in her advice. Lydia is a huge asset to the business and we’d like to thank her again for her guidance and patience.
Jamie and Catherine, Henley on Thames

Framing Project 3 with the Caversham Picture Framer!!! and surprise, surprise Lydia and the team did an absolutely excellent job! Each of the 3 projects I have submitted have been different, but at the same time each has been handled really well and the results are always better than I would have imagined. And yes....there is a Framing Project 4 - coming soon :)

Reframed a pair of large Victorian landscape oil paintings in damaged gilt frames. Gave excellent advice on more contemporary frames with painted wood and I am very pleased with the result. They have been transformed.

Poor service - now rectified
Waiting for two weeks for a frame and today received a call (having been told that completion would be 11/5) saying they couldn’t remember what colour mount I’d asked for and I could I remember what it was. Apparently it wasnt my error!!! No kidding! I’ve paid over £100 for you to provide a service and am frankly really annoyed. I won’t be using this service again. I know errors happen but don’t wait two weeks to tell me then ask me over the phone to tell you which mount I had chosen!!!
** Amended.
Alex the manager contacted me quickly after leaving this review and has gone above and beyond to rectify the error. My framed picture is being delivered to my home address tomorrow. The second picture I had framed is already back to me and looks great. Although my initial experience was far from great it has been dealt with well and I am pleased with the end result.

Amazing
Courteous service, and amazing quality. We again let Lydia choose our frame and mount- she chooses colours that complement the picture in ways we’d never have imagined.

I've just had two paintings reframed by Caversham Picture Framer and I'm delighted with the results. Both paintings are full of colour but both were 'suffocated' by their original frames which were heavy and dark. Their input and discussion to help me choose the new frames was really helpful and their service is friendly and professional.
Best Framers Ever!
I've just collected my piece of art that had a mount and frame done. It is very precious to me, so only wanted the best. I had help in choosing the best ones, so don't worry if you are unsure what you want! They are very helpful and friendly. I've been using this shop for years. Wouldn't actually want my precious items handled by anyone else. Thank you Gabriel. You were a star. Good luck for the future! Ciao.

Brilliant framing
Brilliant framing! We got 3 paintings framed at the Caversham Picture Framer and would definitely recommend it. The paintings were very sentimental to us & we are so happy with how they turned out. Thank you Gabriele!

Careful craftsmanship
Thank you, Gabriele, for taking so much time and care to help me select the perfect 3-dimensional mount for a small book I wanted to frame. The result is a small, perfectly finished, high quality piece of art.
I look forward to placing future orders with you.
