Frame Set & Match

Frame Set & Match is a picture-framing workshop on Endell Street, between Seven Dials and the Covent Garden Piazza. It is one of the company's two London locations, the other being in Notting Hill, and it offers bespoke framing carried out by traditional craftsmen with more than twenty years of experience behind the business.

The workshop has framed for major institutions including the Natural History Museum, the National Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Ministry of Defence, which reflects the level of craftsmanship and the trust placed in it. Customer reviews regularly mention clear advice, honest conversations about budget and work delivered on time, points the business makes much of given that many pieces are valuable or sentimental.

Picture framing in Covent Garden for art and memorabilia

Services cover bespoke picture framing for original artworks, prints and photographs, along with mirror framing and frame restoration and repair. The shop also handles three-dimensional pieces such as sports shirts, squadron patches, records and gold discs, using box and shadow-box frames so objects sit properly and stay protected. Recent work shown by the shop includes Japanese woodblock prints in walnut frames and paintings on board in raised float mounts, often finished with UV-protective, anti-reflective art glass.

Customers are guided through the whole process, from choosing mouldings and mounts to glazing and collection, and staff can arrange quotes over the phone and advise on carrying large pieces home safely.

What to expect on a visit

The shop opens Monday to Saturday and is closed on Sunday. Endell Street is a short walk from Covent Garden and Holborn Underground stations, which makes dropping off and collecting work straightforward. Frame Set & Match is listed among the homeware and home services shops in Covent Garden, a few doors from Kataba, the Japanese knife specialist on the same street.
