Campbelltown Framing Gallery is a family business operated by Ed and Cynthia.   We have over sixty years experience in the framing industry and we are known for our high quality workmanship.  We also pride ourselves on being one of the few conservation framers in the Macarthur area.

Campbelltown Framing Gallery – Conservation Framers

Conservation framing means we use the very best acid-free materials to protect and preserve your work.  Artworks come in many shapes and sizes including original art, prints, photography, embroidery, certificates, military and memorabilia.  At Campbelltown Framing Gallery every picture framing job is treated with respect – we appreciate that your work needs protection because of its sentimental, historical or monetary value.  Our best job today ensures your work will be around for future generations.

Quality materials used include paper, mat boards, glass, tape, staples and mouldings (moldings).  Anything that comes into contact with your work has to be of the finest quality.  You can be assured your work will never be glued, sprayed, stapled or cut.  We have seen work that has been cut to fit the frame.  At Campbelltown Framing Gallery our frames are cut to fit your work.  None of our frames are pre-cut – we have three metre lengths of picture frame moldings in store.

We do not use MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard).  This board attracts moisture to itself and mould can set in and destroy your work.  Sadly we have to re-frame works that have deteriorated due to poor quality materials and workmanship – if your works are worth keeping it is an investment to frame them well.

This excellent article in Wikipedia can give you more insight into picture framing.  The frame should compliment the picture but not become the main focus.

Not all framing requires glass. But when it is used matting is very important to keep the picture from sticking to the glass – a picture can be easily ruined from condensation on the inside of the glass.

At Campbelltown Framing Gallery we pride ourselves on quality.  On your first visit we will inspect your work with you and discuss your requirements.  A simple quote is not possible unless we know how you intend to show the work, the type of picture frame moulding and whether glass is a requirement.

We are humbled that so many of our customers return to Campbelltown Framing Gallery year after year.  Each job is special and that is the way it must be.
