We have been crafting contemporary and traditional hand-built frames for Australia’s finest artists, museums, and art collections for almost 140 years.
Since 1879 we have been framers to many of Australia’s most significant artists, and Longstaff, McCubbin, Meldrum, Streeton, Roberts, Southern, Scheltema, and Withers were all our customers to mention but a few.
At Jarman we still hand-craft our frames the traditional way using the same nineteenth century Jarman and Thallon moulds that were used to create the original frames made for these artists. You will find our frames around major artworks by Australian artists in the National Gallery of Victoria, and in other collections.
We adjust frame design, gilding, finish, and toning of our frames in our on-site workshop to present your artwork at its best. Our staff will guide you through a detailed framing consultation to select a frame in keeping with the style and era of your artwork while respecting your personal taste and requirements. We can get as creative as you are.
We use Rising Museum quality archival mount board and conservation framing methods to secure the life of your art work.
We stock glass and acrylic options from the standard, through to Museum grade non-reflective and UV rated choices to protect your artwork into the future.
Should your canvas require stretching we can custom cut stretchers in sustainable plantation- grown native Aracaria, cedar, or aluminium with a range of stretcher profiles from standard through to museum grade.
As part of your consultation we will suggest if conservation work may be required to stabilize your artwork and can arrange quotes from art conservation specialists on request.
Jarman are restorers of historic and damaged picture frames: so if you have a fine old frame which has seen better days, bring it in to us. Through a process of stabilisation and rebuilding of the ornament from moulds taken of the extant decoration we have been known to perform miracles.
We can resurface, refinish, re-gild, repair chips: whatever is required to bring your old frame back to its glory.
