Reclaimed wood picture frames

by Rusticana Interiors:

For the last 14 years I have been working with Reclaimed Wood making Rustic picture frames, mirrors and other home decor pieces.
I started my business after working in Reclamation for many years restoring architecture items, there was a lack of genuine products being custom made out of Reclaimed Timber.

The market is flooded with people using pallet wood and scaffold boards which aren't authentic, I wanted to do something using Antique Oak, Elm, Chestnut and Pine, proper wood!

I source my Wood from a number of contacts in the Reclamation business:

  • Barns are being pulled down and restored, so often I’ll buy the frame work and cladding.
  • Cottages will be having new floors so I’ll salvage the old boards.
  • Farm buildings have great old Beams that are ancient and are being knocked down.

I'm always searching for the best and oldest wood I can find!

The majority of the wood I work with is Pit Sawn, meaning the whole tree would've been cut down and worked by hand.  No mechanical devices around in those days! They stopped Pit Sawing around 1860, the tree's they used were of great age so when you buy a Picture Frame or Mirror from me you know the Oak or Elm is going to be around 400 years old.

I make Rustic Picture Frames and Mirrors at any size needed that get sent all over the UK, The Bespoke service I offer let's you decided exactly what style, Wood, and Size you want, if you need a mount or non reflective glass then that's what you get!

We have a showroom which my partner Matt from Blackstone chalk furniture shares with me, it is open daily and is full of Reclaimed Picture Frames, Mirrors and Interior pieces.

Please get in touch if you would like to pop over, or want a Bespoke Picture Frame made up

Or have a look at some of the picture frames I have in my online shop

Reclaimed Wooden Picture Frames & Mirrors

Posted on by

The Bespoke Picture Frames & Rustic Mirrors I make & sell are all made using very old Oak, Elm, Pine & Chestnut that date back hundreds of years.

I specialize in Pit Sawn Timber, this means that the tree was cut down before the 1860’s by hand,  no mechanical machines were used.

Two men would’ve been either end of a very wide hand saw over a pit slicing the tree trunk into planks.

You can see the age old saw marks on the wood i use, which are unlike the machine marks from today, I never sand these marks off when making a Picture Frame or Mirror, the slightly uneven surface of the Wood has so much history and character to it, the colours are rich and with a coat of clear wax to enhance what is already there you have a beautiful unique Frame that will stand out from modern day mass produced versions.

Please get in touch if you would like a Picture Frame or Mirror made up, we also have a shop which is open from 10am till late 7 days a week located in Dunbridge,  Hampshire.

Made to order Picture Frames

Posted on by

I’ve been in my workshop making a selection of Rustic Picture Frames and Reclaimed Oak Mirrors for customers this week, they have been boxed up and are ready for the courier to collect.

Pictured is a chunky Rustic Elm Picture Frame that has a dusty grey colour, the customer wanted a Driftwood effect and this ancient Elm had just the right patina.

It was later fitted with a stone coloured mount board to hold her Seaside Painting and is on its way to Yorkshire.

Please contact me with any enquiries regarding Bespoke Mirrors or Picture Frames.
