We’ve been framing pieces for Eaglemont for over three decades, working from a family-run studio that treats every job, large or small, with the same attention to detail.
Whether you need a custom frame for a family portrait, canvas art, or a piece inspired by Eaglemont’s famous art history, our team is here to help bring your vision to life.
Eaglemont’s Trusted Frame Shop Since 1991
In the late 1880s, painters Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton and Charles Conder camped on a hilltop in Eaglemont and helped invent Australian Impressionism.
Streeton’s Golden Summer, Eaglemont, painted from that very camp, now hangs in the National Gallery of Australia. It’s a big claim to fame for a small suburb, and it’s part of why we take framing here so seriously.
Whether you’re framing a print of one of those iconic works, an original painting, or a family photo taken on the same streets the artists once walked, we bring the same level of care to every piece that comes through our door.
Our approach is built on three things:
- Archival-Grade Materials: Acid-free mats, UV-filtering glass and conservation-quality mounting, the same standards galleries use.
- Local Knowledge: Three decades of framing for this exact part of Melbourne means we know what lasts and what doesn’t.
- Honest Advice: We’ll tell you if a cheaper option will do the job just as well.

Picture Framers Eaglemont Locals Choose
Not every framer is set up to handle valuable or original artwork properly. Conservation framing takes different materials, different handling and a level of care that standard framing doesn’t require.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you frame original paintings, not just prints and photos?
Yes. We regularly frame original oil paintings, watercolours and works on paper, using conservation-grade materials that protect the piece without affecting its value.
If you're searching for custom picture framing near Eaglemont for a piece you actually painted or collected, rather than a printed poster, this is exactly the kind of work we specialise in. We'll assess the canvas, paper or board it's mounted on and recommend a framing method that suits the medium, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Most original artwork also benefits from conservation framing, which we can talk you through when you bring the piece in.
Where can I find quality photo frames Eaglemont locals trust?
Right here. We handcraft photo frames Eaglemont families rely on, from single portraits to full gallery walls, using premium materials built to last. If you've searched for photo frames near Eaglemont and only found generic ready-made sizes online, that's exactly the gap we fill, we can cut a custom frame to fit any photo size, not just the standard 4x6 or A4. We also help with gallery wall layouts if you're framing more than one photo at a time, so the spacing and frame styles work together instead of looking mismatched.
Do you restore or reframe old, damaged frames?
Yes, we can often restore an existing frame or rebuild it entirely, which is sometimes a better option than starting from scratch, especially for a frame with sentimental value. Common issues we fix include cracked or water-damaged mouldings, foxed or discoloured mats, and glass that's clouded or scratched over time. If the frame itself is beyond saving but the artwork or photo inside is still in good condition, we can rebuild it using a similar style so the piece keeps its original character.
Can you frame a print of a Heidelberg School painting, like Golden Summer, Eaglemont?
Yes, we can. A lot of Eaglemont picture framing customers like to hang a print of the work that made the suburb famous, and we'll help you choose a frame that suits it. Reproduction prints of Australian Impressionist works usually look best in a simple timber moulding with a wide mat, similar to the style used in galleries, rather than an ornate gold frame that competes with the image. If you're not sure which finish suits your specific print, bring it in and we'll hold a few frame samples up against it before you commit to anything.
What's the difference between conservation framing and standard framing?
Conservation framing, sometimes called archival or museum-quality framing, is built around one goal: protecting the artwork, not just displaying it. The main differences are:
- Acid-free mats and backing boards, so nothing degrades the artwork over time
- UV-filtering glass or acrylic, to slow fading from sunlight
- Reversible mounting methods, so the piece can be removed and reframed without damage
It costs a little more, but for anything you plan to keep long-term, whether that's an original painting, a family photo, or a certificate, it's worth it. Standard framing is perfectly fine for a poster or a print you're not precious about, so we'll always tell you honestly which option suits your piece rather than upselling everyone to conservation-grade materials.
