Welcome to Bell Fine Art

Established in Winchester in 1987 the two floors of the gallery show original contemporary and period paintings by artists from the UK, Europe and further afield, together with prints, limited editions and local views.

Our picture framing workshop is on the premises and our two full-time picture framers are both experienced in all aspects of picture framing.

Throughout the gallery contemporary ceramics, glass, jewellery and sculpture are displayed to complement the two-dimensional work along with a large range of greetings cards.

Picture Framing

Our Picture Framing team are able to offer a wide range of mouldings from several of the UK’s leading suppliers, as well as a comprehensive collection of aluminium frames for that extra sharp, clean finish. We also wax and lime plain woods, and offer paint finishes in the colours of the Farrow and Ball range. Unlike many other picture framers all work is done in our own workshop on the premises

We use a 2mm picture glass as standard, but also offer various other options. The non reflective glass reduces glare, while the Ultravue and Museum glasses are practically invisible in the frame. We recommend UV protection glass for higher value pieces.

Our experienced staff will be pleased to offer advice on every aspect of our framing process, from the selection of materials to the recommended techniques to keep your artwork safe, protected and looking fabulous for many years to come. Over the years, we have framed originals, prints, canvasses, textiles, sports memorabilia, records, medals and various collections, if you have an unusual item that you wish to display, do get in touch, we will be glad to help.

Restoration and Valuation

It is important to conserve the condition of a work of art to retain its value for future generations. At Bell Fine Art we have the experience to advise on all aspects of restoration and conservation.

Over the years oil paintings collect dust, dirt and nicotine discoloration, they may need patching, relining or retouching too. Many would be dramatically enhanced by sympathetic cleaning and restoration. Watercolours and other works on paper often require removal of foxing, discoloration and staining, as well as reframing using specialist conservation materials.

Like paintings, frames also can suffer over the years, gilding discolours and frames can suffer knocks and lose pieces. At Bell Fine Art we have the expertise to repair and regild these heirlooms.
