We’re able to frame your artwork using a range of high-quality mouldings, many of which are based on older designs. If you would like to see some examples, please contact us.
WHAT WE DO
Enhance the aesthetic by reframing sympathetically.
High-Quality Reproduction Mouldings
Our mouldings are perfect for older works as they mimic many historic designs. Each carry a sense of prestige, yet won’t cost the earth.

As with all shipments, your canvas, panel, or copper will be securely attached to its new frame prior to shipping to avoid issues.

We can send you several examples of the mouldings that work well with your artwork. Many of these are adopted in major galleries.
THE FOUNDERS
Andrew & Holly
Committed to providing a professional industry-leading service.
The concept for Proartus stemmed from the combined efforts of Andrew Shield, a fine art dealer with eight years of experience handling over 2,000 works, and Holly Shield, a trained fine art conservator.
In today’s market, when paintings are shipped overseas extensively, all too often problems occur. Shippers very rarely have a background in fine art and, as such, fail to take proper precautions when packing. For instance, most antique paintings are sent without properly securing them into their frames, which leads to the canvas or panel, vibrating within the frame. This could cause scratches, from old nails, or worse, a tear in a canvas.
With a passion for antique fine art, and conservation more broadly, we’ve created a fine art shipping company that draws upon our combined experiences and removes the risk of shipping overseas.
