St Ives Picture Frames

Choose traditional inlay or modern float mounting for a gallery-ready finish.
Option 1: Traditional Inlay
Traditional St Ives frame with canvas board fitted inside rebate
Your board fits neatly into the rear opening. We include extra MDF backing and flexible points for secure, hassle-free assembly.

Iconic cassetta-style frames inspired by 1950s St Ives artists - perfect for canvas boards, aluminium panels, or rigid artwork up to ~5mm thick.

The St Ives Style

Named after the Cornish art colony in the 1950s, where artists favored this simple, elegant cassetta profile (Italian for "little box").

Features a stepped, box-like moulding with inner/outer sections and a flat frieze - originally used in Renaissance panel paintings to focus attention on the artwork.
