A&I is delighted to be working
with talented frame and furniture maker Simon Orrell.
Simon’s work illustrates beautifully GK Chesterton’s
comment that ‘the essence of every picture is in
the frame’.
Simon escaped the rat race to follow
his passion for fine framing, and trained in Italy
with a Master Framer.
All his frames are made
entirely by hand, based on traditional techniques.
Each bespoke frame has up to six coats of
gesso before antiquing, colour washing and water
or oil gilding.
