ACRYLIC VITRINES
THIS PAGE IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT
Similar to our acrylic box frames but for a horizontal display - our vitrines are perfect for small sculptures, objects and artefacts, artists books as well as collectables. The acrylic vitrines are fabricated by a heat bent and glued process ensuring strong and beautiful results.
table mounted vitrines
These are the basic style of vitrine, with the acrylic vitrine resting on a flat base or small plinth. See the section on bases below for a range of options.
wall mounted vitrines
Similar to the table mounted vitrines, these vitrines have bases that are designed to be mounted to the wall. There are two main designs we make: Floating Shelf vitrines are essentially similar to a table mount vitrine except they have hidden floating shelf brackets so they can seamlessly attach to the wall. We also offer a L shaped shelf design, with vertical and horizontal surfaces.

BASES
Bases are made from a selection of materials provide the surface to which the artwork is attached as well as providing a support structure for the attachment the of acrylic box and hanging hardware. Bases are generally chosen for their suitability for the work to be framed as well as their archival and aesthetic characteristics.
PAINTED MDF BASES
Also CNC fabricated, these bases are made from hardwood veneered MDF panels. The panels are grooved on the CNC and assembled to give the fronts and sides a consistent flowing veneer. These are suitable where the desired timber look is required, often for the presentation of objects and memorabilia. The bases can be stained and finished in the same way as our hardwood frames.
FABRICATED TIMBER VENEER BASES
Also CNC fabricated, these bases are made from hardwood veneered MDF panels. The panels are grooved on the CNC and assembled to give the fronts and sides a consistent flowing veneer. These are suitable where the desired timber look is required, often for the presentation of objects and memorabilia. The bases can be stained and finished in the same way as our hardwood frames.
SOLID TIMBER BASES
Also CNC fabricated, these bases are made from hardwood veneered MDF panels. The panels are grooved on the CNC and assembled to give the fronts and sides a consistent flowing veneer. These are suitable where the desired timber look is required, often for the presentation of objects and memorabilia. The bases can be stained and finished in the same way as our hardwood frames.

Our fabricated aluminium composite bases can be coated with an archival shellac based matte finish that emulates the look of a cotton backing whilst maintaining strength and versatility. Bases can be painted to match our range of museum boards.
Works on paper are hinged to an archival pedatal substrate which is then adhered to the base. The depth of the pedestal substrate gives the work a nice subtle and even floating look. This presentation is especially suitable for works on paper with deckled, dimensional or irregular shapes and edges where the frameless look gives the work spacious and free display.
