Picture Framing
at For Art's Sake

Specialists in all types of Framing

Picture framing is what it's all about at "For Art's Sake". Dee and her husband John are both qualified picture framers. They have top-notch equipment to do the job properly.

Working from home on the Island, this busy duo have created a good name for their business always going the extra mile to please their customers. They have a wide range of frame mouldings and keep up to date with the latest trends.

Dee's expertise allows her to take old crumpled photos, or dog-eared maps or even a piece of wrinkled wrapping paper and with vacuum sealing techniques restore them to a measure of their former glory making a perfect picture.

If you want a mirror for a bathroom framed or to make a statement by artfully making a living area look larger, This couple are able to do that for you.

It is a great option to have framed collages of special times or events in your life and that of your family's rather than having photos forgotten in an album that's buried in a cupboard somewhere.

Surround yourself with things you love. Let them reflect experiences you've had that you want to remember and put your memories where you can see them!

Instead of having a jumble of old things stored in boxes or suitcases, clear your clutter by taking photos of items you treasure (then dump the articles or give them to charity for someone else to make use of) or preserve the pieces themselves by tastefully arranging them in a "deep box frame" so that you display them effectively. 

At "For Art's Sake", Dee will gladly assist you to get framed a special piece of artwork you have discovered at a local gallery or purchased from our wonderful Scarab market so you can take it home ready to hang.

Pictures add depth and character to a room. They create focal points of interest.

They create a mood so they are important aspects of decor. A wrong choice can destroy the effect you are trying to produce.

The frames are an integral part of the picture or article they are framing so it is important not only that the job is done well but that the frame suits its subject and displays it to its best advantage.

John and Dee will be able to suggest many options that give you different choices to consider.

For example, below is a detailed piece of work in cross-stitch that show-cases a special talent. 

They enjoy the exacting work required for good picture framing and the discerning creative element that produces a great outcome.

Their enthusiasm for their work is infectious and their keen desire to give you the best service possible will ensure that you will not be disappointed.

Have no qualms that whatever you'd like to frame, "For Art's Sake" will provide the high quality result you want.

John and Dee's Story

Casa Diddle in the Island suburb of Sedgefield was ready and waiting when Dee and John Archer moved to the Garden Route from Gauteng in 2008! 

But John and Dee are no newcomers to Sedgefield. John’s Dad lived on the Island for many years and even before that, brought his family to Sedgefield for holidays regularly. When John married Dee, he carried on the tradition and their family camped at Trails’ End and Lake Pleasant. Both of them are beautiful holiday spots on the perimeter of Sedgefield.

Finally John and Dee, bought their own piece of paradise on the Island. Although it was elderly and scruffy and needed updating, John got to work with a will and with help from Dee, they modernised the house Once it was ready for occupation, in 2004, they rented it out until finally, in 2008, the decision was made to move to Sedgefield. Work re-commenced on the house and it has been upgraded again and extended to accommodate their framing business. (They are, after all, too young to retire!)
