Expert help is on hand every step of the way to help you choose from a large variety of framing possibilities.
Trusted by artists, galleries, and institutions, we specialize in providing premium framing and mounting using the highest quality materials and latest conservation techniques to not only make your art look great on your walls, but also last a lifetime!
All of our premium hand-finished frames are custom milled, cut and joined in our Ottawa workshop using locally sourced hardwood. We take pride in our high standard of work and offer a lifetime workmanship guarantee on all of our custom frames.
We also offer a selection of factory-finished wood mouldings from major North American frame suppliers.
About Gesso & Bole
Gesso & Bole was created in 2018 with the ambition of allowing artists, galleries and individuals the opportunity to design the perfect frame or display solution to complement and enhance their artwork and maximize its impact when displayed.
Through a large range of custom mouldings, endless varieties of paints, stains and finishes, combined with out-of-the-box thinking, we believe that we can create the perfect frame for any artwork or object.
Our frames are made using the finest quality materials and techniques to ensure that your framed artworks look great, but will also last a lifetime.
