Our Innovative Impact on the Industry

While other ateliers focus on solving framing challenges, John Davies Framing has already mastered them. Now, our commitment to elevating the client experience has led us to build an industry-first innovation, which was tested and refined in collaboration with a worldleading auction house, ensuring it meets their highest standards. Our FrameEdit tool allows clients to engage with our craftsmanship like never before, offering greater visibility, choice, and control over the framing process.

Leveraging the pioneering expertise that Joshua Davies brings from the world of Hollywood visual effects, and combining it with advancements in AI technology, we’ve created the most advanced frame rendering and visualisation software in the world.

Originally perfected in the film industry, we’ve repurposed this technology for the art world, allowing clients to visualise all of our frames in stunning high quality, and apply a wide range of styles to find the best match for their artwork. The frames are automatically resized to fit perfectly and are infinitely customizable. This flexibility extends beyond artwork to other objects, including mirrors, ensuring the same unparalleled quality in every frame - each of which is crafted by John Davies’ expert team.
