We've been making framed montages for years, and they've become one of the things people come to us for. The West Ham Legends piece is a good example of what they can look like. Three of the club's greatest names crouched together in black and white, the claret and blue of a match day around them, a captain lifting the cup. Five moments from one club's history, held in a single frame.
It's one of many we've built over the years. Every club and every sport you can think of, along with plenty that have nothing to do with football at all. You can have the same thing put together around anyone you love.
Built by hand in our workshop
Every montage is put together by our own framing team. Between them they hold over four decades of experience, and none of the work leaves the building. The photographs sit on a dual matte mountboard, laser cut so the openings line up to the millimetre. A 2mm Perspex or Glass front protects the display and keeps the surface clear from any angle.
We cut with the same laser technology used for high-end gallery work, then finish each piece with a contemporary frame chosen to suit the images inside it. The finished montage looks like something you'd find hanging in a stadium's members' lounge.
Your people, your moments
The West Ham piece works because it tells a story, and yours can do the same. In the time we've been making these, we've covered just about every subject you could name.
Some customers bring us the players and teams they grew up watching. Others hand over a shoebox of family photographs and ask us to turn them into something worth hanging. We've framed:
- Footballers, boxers and drivers for the sports fans
- Musicians and film stars for the collectors
- Wedding and honeymoon photographs for couples
- A child's first years, from newborn to first day at school
- Grandparents and great-grandparents most people had only ever seen in an old album
- Pets, holidays, and the occasional retirement send-off
Send us your images and tell us what they mean to you. We'll suggest a layout, a mount colour, and a frame that pulls the whole thing together.
How it works
- Choose your photographs. Five to seven sits well in a montage, though we can work with more.
- Tell us the feeling you're after: a tribute, a gift, a centrepiece for the hall.
- We design the montage and confirm it with you before anything is cut.
- Our team builds it by hand, and it arrives ready to hang.
A piece like this becomes the sort of gift people keep for decades. Birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, or a treat for yourself.
Bring us your photographs, and we'll build you something that belongs on the wall.
