Custom Framing for Maps, Charts, Blueprints & Scrolls
Every piece arrives with its own character, condition and history.
Some maps show signs of age and handling. Others may have remained rolled for many years, creating challenges with flattening and preservation. Architectural drawings and blueprints are often oversized and delicate, while scrolls and historic documents can require particularly careful handling.
Whether the piece is intended for a family home, office, boardroom, gallery wall, library or professional space, careful consideration is given to both presentation and protection.

Oversized & Large Format Framing
Sometimes charts, blueprints and maps fall outside standard framing sizes.
Our workshop is equipped to handle oversized and large-format projects, allowing us to frame larger works that many smaller workshops may struggle to accommodate.
From oversized nautical charts through to large architectural drawings and historic wall maps, we can assist with suitable framing, mounting and display solutions.
