For more than 25 years, Chapman & Bailey has proudly provided Artists, Art Centres, Galleries and Institutions across Australia access to sustainable materials, skilled craftsmanship, and trusted expertise.
Fine Art Framing
We offer museum grade, specialist custom framing for fine art and archival purposes. We can help you select a frame that will not only protect your artwork, but will also exhibit your piece with integrity. Our expert craftspeople use the finest timbers in contemporary styles to help complement your piece.
Custom Stretchers
Chapman & Bailey custom-made and stock-sized stretcher profiles are available in sustainable timbers and aluminium. Our fine art canvas stretchers are made by expert craftspeople to maintain strength and stability over time, however the size. Our canvas stretchers are made in Melbourne by hand and together with the Belle Arti joining system we are able to make any shape and size canvas.
Freight & Installation
Chapman & Bailey's transportation and installation services are done by experienced arts workers who know how to handle all varieties of artwork with professionalism and care. When it comes to freighting artwork that requires special care and attention, or is simply of an unusual nature, we can help you find the best crating solution for you.
Bespoke Furniture & Display
We use traditional techniques to create contemporary furniture for the home or office that will last a lifetime. Our materials are hand-selected, including timbers that are sustainably grown and contrasting materials such as future plastics, stone and metals.
