About

With 25 years experience in the field of designing and making bespoke picture frames Aline Cathy David prides herself in giving a very high quality and personal service to all her customers.

Her approach and style in designing picture frames is based on her true love for artworks and the period they were made.

She also invents her own finishes.

Aline would be very happy to discuss any project and offer free consultation.
