JJ very good but very expensive.

I am sure you are aware of MFM....

This guy is also supposed to be very good and frames stuff for Laz.

If your in the Wimbledon area Gallery 128 in Kingston Road is excellent, a nice bloke called Charles runs it. He has framed about 20 pictures of mine, all brilliantly. Very good prices as well, he has also done some excellent restoration work on some older etchings i have.

railings are very good ......but they did balls 1 of mine up........but they sort of sorted it !!!!!

Depends on what your framing, if its really high value then they are a safe bet, but Railings are really good, or I can recommend Anderson Hill Framing in Kingston, ask for Josh, he's framed all my Banksy's

Go for Mr Frameman- he is sooooooo amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always over the moon with his work!!!!

I use Darbyshire as they were the people who other criterion uses (when I got my Hirst). I think they would be the quality of JJ but are about 2/3 the price.

I can vouch for Railings, They have done my last three prints all the same

Looks stunning mate! Nice. Post up more when you get the wrap off!

Here's a guideline for JJ pricing:

Anyone got any pics of art they have had framed by John Jones?

Just as an aside - a couple of years ago my mrs bought me a framed photograph at auction for £45 - The photo is amazing and when I took it down for a dusting the other day I saw on the back that it was conservation framed by JJ!- bet the framing cost a lot more than £45 never mind the photo!

if you're planning a Tox 09 print, probably best to stick to Ikea.... ;D ;D

you wait till something goes wrong with the frame, ie, warps - they will wash their hands with you. JJ sucks, Pauli, Lenoard Villa's are the best 2 about

Sad to have just read this message from the best framers I've ever used.... i'll miss them.


Dear All,



It is with deepest regret to announce that after 40 years in business, John Jones Art Centre Ltd is ceasing trade on February 14th 2019.



I wanted to say thank you to all of you who have been loyal to us over the years- it has been a real pleasure working with you and an honor to frame your wonderful artworks!



Hopefully, there will be an opportunity in the future when we can work together again.



Best wishes,


Stefanie



A message from the Jones Family

As many of our clients know, John Jones is a family business, started over 40 years ago by my pioneering father. I joined the business in 1986 at 16, my brother Kristian a year later at 15. Our sister Kelly joined us a few years after and for the last 34 years we have given everything we have to the business – literally blood, sweat and tears. Whilst it’s been incredible, it’s also been very challenging – running a business in the UK is not easy and in the art world even more so. Closing John Jones has been the hardest decision of all, but we feel strongly that now is the right time for us to take a much needed break and put our own families first.

I am immensely proud that we have pushed the limits in framing, defined the standards in the UK, set ourselves as the ambassadors and market leaders of our industry. The art world is a challenging place, but we’ve strived to raise the focus on not only presenting but also protecting art and ensuring its longevity for generations to come.



We’re grateful to our loyal client base who has given us so many wonderful memories. From young artists at the start of their careers, to some of the biggest names in art; we’ve framed for royalty, for rock stars, A-list actors, world leaders and captains of industry. We’ve framed masterpieces, modern art, contemporary work, magna cartas, posters, family photos, football shirts, kimonos, guitar collections, children’s drawings… this list goes on. I can promise you, we’ve given every single work the same focused attention and care, right down to the beautiful piece of embroidery that an old lady from Finsbury Park brought in. We’ve been on an incredible journey and met some truly wonderful personalities.



We’ve built a first class team of dedicated experts over the years, from frame designers and art conservators to metal welders, gilders and joiners – our manufacturing and art teams really are outstanding. I’ve always been so proud to give clients tours of our workshops and show off our staff at work. It’s been rewarding to see so many go on to pursue their own artist careers or set up businesses within the art world that we continue to work with on a freelance basis. We’ve also built strong working relationships with other art professionals who keep the art world moving - curators, consultants, auction houses, museums, shippers, storage, installers, lighting experts, photographers, printers, suppliers, not to forget art colleges. We all play a part.



Our passion has always been the art. It really has been a lifelong effort and I’m proud to say that I firmly believe we leave the art world in a much better state than when we first started.





Matt, Kristian and Kelly
