Frame X is a high quality, pre-made picture frame, handcrafted in the UK from premium, sustainable materials. It’s designed to preserve your photos or artwork without the long wait or expense of custom framing.
All frames use sustainably sourced wood from FSC suppliers, archival grade mounts, rigid MDF backboards and 2mm glass.
Many of our frames are crafted using hand-finishing techniques or specialist production processes that create a more natural, textured appearance. As a result, no two frames are ever exactly the same. Variations can occur in areas such as colour tone, wood grain visibility, distressing, and surface texture. Some frames may appear slightly more weathered, brushed, or textured than others — this is completely normal and part of the design.
Our product images are intended as a guide, but due to the nature of these finishes, we cannot guarantee an exact match to the image shown or to previous orders. These subtle differences are what give our frames their distinctive rustic, shabby chic, and handcrafted character, making each piece unique.
Absolutely. Each piece is handcrafted with precision and care using premium materials. We're confident in the quality of our products and include a 12 month warranty covering any manufacturing defects. If you experience any issues, our team will be happy to help.
Some image files, particularly RAW formats or very large files, may not upload correctly through our website. If you run into this issue, don't worry. Simply change your phone camera settings, convert your image to a standard format such as JPEG or PNG and try again.

General care tips include:
Dusting - Use a soft, dry cloth or microfibre cloth to gently remove
dust from the framer and glass. Avoid using abrasive that could scratch the
frame or glass surface.
Cleaning Glass - Clean the glass with a non-ammonia based glass cleaner.
Always spray the cleaner onto the soft cloth rather than directly onto the
glass to prevent liquid from seeping into the frame edges.
Avoid Direct Sunlight - Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause
fading or discolouration of the frame finish artwork or photograph inside.
Position frames in areas with indirect light for optimal preservation or rotate the frame now and again.
