Please note that due to global rises in material costs, our suppliers have had to raise their prices accordingly.
We are doing our best to minimise the impact of these rises. As always, we are happy to give an estimate before proceeding with any work.
We look forward to seeing you soon.

SERVICES
PICTURE FRAMING
ORIGINAL MIRRORS
As you'll see when you visit, our range of mouldings is wide but carefully chosen, allowing us to meet just about any of our clients' many and varied wishes. We can hopefully give you an estimate of cost by the time you leave.
Whether you're thinking of a unique Wedding present or bringing more light in to a dark corner of your house, we have a wide range of mouldings and mirror finishes to make a mirror that will be unique to you.
HAND PAINTED/STAINED FRAMES
Starting from a plain wood moulding, we are able to stain or paint your frame to the tone that you want
PICTURE RESTORATION & PAPER CONSERVATION
Working with experienced Restorers and Conservators, we can help to rescue precious images that you thought may have been permanently ruined
GLASS SELECTION
We have a full range of glass to suit every budget, from standard framers glass to high-end Museum quality non-reflective, anti-UV glass
OUR WORK
We work very much hand-in-hand with our clients. With more than 35 years of shared framing experience, together we will find what we all agree is the best framing solution for your work. Following your visit, we'll be in touch to give you a quote, then with your approval we'll go ahead and start the framing process.
It is most important to us that we offer the very highest standard of work and materials at a competitive price. For this reason, we have developed a broad range of customers - from local artists and photographers, to customers bringing us anything from their childrens drawings to works by Old Masters, as well as galleries in Cambridge and London, and beyond.
Our wide selection of carefully chosen mouldings means that we can confidently offer a number of solutions for your work.
As well as our custom framing service, we also offer hand staining or painted frames, using a raw wood moulding as a starting point. We have a range of plain wood mouldings - from Obeche to Oak - each having it's own texture of grain.
We have also made many mirrors through the years, destined as wedding presents or to bring some reflected light in to the darker spaces in our customers homes.
These can be made to all shapes and sizes.
**** In an effort to minimise our environmental impact, we ask that you bring your own packaging material - blankets etc - when collecting your finished frames ****
ABOUT US
We left London back in 1982 with the goal of renovating an old farmhouse that we had fallen in love with - Boblow House - sitting in the middle of fields in Essex, and badly in need of some TLC. During his retirement, Sally's father had taken up picture framing, and taught her the ropes. After settling at Boblow, Sally set about clearing an old WW2 'Nissen' hut, and took the first steps towards her own framing business. A year or so later circumstances allowed Paddy to join her in this venture - and so began Boblow Framing!
TESTIMONIALS
I have recently had a second picture framed by Sally and Paddy. An absolutely charming couple who clearly know their subject. The time that they gave me to get “it just right” was huge. Very professional and an amazing eye for detail. I’m thrilled with the result and cannot recommend more highly.

Sally & Paddy offer professional & friendly expertise I am delighted with the frame for my oil painting. Thoroughly recommended. I can't wait to find a reason to go back to see them!

We used their service once and we were so happy that we used them again and will be using them always because there is not substitute to class, skill and expertise...and they have plenty

Paddy and Sally Nason have framed several watercolour and oil paintings as well as large black and white and colour photographs for us. Their breadth of experience with layout, glass types and frame materials along with their impeccable taste were essential in producing the wonderful results that now hang on our walls. They are a joy to work with and give the customer a (almost certainly) commercially disproportionate amount of time to achieve a result they are happy with. I could not imagine going anywhere else for my framing.
