At Kendal Restoration, we believe that every frame should reflect not only the beauty of the object it holds, but the integrity of the materials behind it. That’s why we choose to work with suppliers who share our values—craftsmanship, responsibility, and care for the planet. Two of our most trusted partners, Lion Picture Framing and Larson-Juhl, are leading the way in sustainable sourcing. Their commitment to ethical practices ensures that every moulding, mount, and material we use is as thoughtful as the restoration itself. Lion Picture Framing: Practical Sustainability with a Local Focus Lion PF has built its reputation on quality and innovation, with sustainability woven into its operations. Their approach is grounded in transparency and practicality, making it easy for framers and restorers to make responsible choices. • FSC-certified timber: Lion prioritises mouldings made from wood sourced from responsibly managed forests. This ensures that every frame supports long-term forest health and biodiversity. • Low-impact finishes: Many of their products use water-based or low-VOC coatings, reducing harmful emissions and improving indoor air quality. • Efficient packaging: Lion uses recyclable and minimal packaging, helping reduce waste across the supply chain. • UK-based distribution: By sourcing and distributing locally where possible, Lion reduces transport emissions and supports British manufacturing. Their sustainability efforts are practical and accessible, allowing small workshops like ours to make better choices without compromising on quality. Larson-Juhl: Global Leadership in Ethical Framing As one of the world’s largest framing suppliers, Larson-Juhl brings scale and influence to sustainable sourcing. Their commitment spans continents, with a focus on long-term environmental stewardship. • Certified wood sourcing: Larson-Juhl uses FSC and PEFC-certified timber across its product lines, ensuring traceability and ethical forestry practices. • Eco-conscious manufacturing: Their facilities are designed to minimise energy use, with many operating on renewable energy and implementing waste-reduction programmes. • Recycled and sustainable mouldings: Larson-Juhl offers mouldings made from recycled materials and sustainably harvested wood, combining style with responsibility. • Reforestation and conservation: Through partnerships and internal initiatives, they actively support tree planting and forest conservation efforts worldwide. Their global reach allows them to set high standards across the industry, and we’re proud to bring their products into our local projects.

At Kendal Restoration, framing with purpose means framing with integrity.

At Kendals Restoration, we know that true craftsmanship is never rushed. It lives in the careful sanding of a timeworn chair leg, the sympathetic repair of a marquetry inlay, and the final polish that brings a piece back to life. That same reverence for detail and tradition runs through our sister company, Hamilton Billiards . They specialise in handcrafted snooker, pool, and billiard tables, along with the cues, accessories, and restorations that complete the experience.

When it comes to restoring or upholstering furniture, leather is often the material of choice for its durability, elegance, and timeless appeal. But not all leather is created equal, and for discerning clients, leather accreditation is more than a label. It is a mark of quality, ethics, and trust.
