    Bespoke Framing, Designed Around You

    You don’t have to settle for what’s in a catalogue. At Dawson’s Framing, we specialise in custom frame designs built to your exact brief — frames that follow curved walls, handcrafted shapes in Australian Native Timbers, elegant gilded finishes, and unique tech enabled frames.

    Every piece is made by hand, here on the Gold Coast, by framers who have been doing this for over 30 years.

    If you know what you want, we’ll make it. If you’re not sure yet, come in — that’s what the showroom is for.

  • 30 Years of Framing Mastery

    Scott Dawson has been framing on the Gold Coast since 1995. Three decades of solving complex briefs and never turning a challenge away has made him the go to for creative framing in Australia and beyond.

  • We Make What Doesn't Exist Yet

    When you have a vision in mind we don’t want you to settle. Not only can we access the usual range of frames, we can make our own. From replicas of antique frames to ultra stylish one off pieces and everything in between — they’re all built by hand in our Ashmore studio when nothing off the shelf will do.

  • Design Is the Point

    A frame isn’t just a border, it can be so much more. We’ll work with you on scale, colour, depth, finish, and proportion until the framing genuinely elevates the piece. This is where we come alive — the design conversation is the best part.

  • Rare Skills. Real Craft.

    Gilding. Custom hand-painting. Tech-enabled frames. Conservation mounting. These are skills most framing workshops simply don’t have. We’ve spent decades collecting them — and we love being asked to use them.

  • No Brief Is Too Difficult

    Curved walls. Round corners. Oversized works. Unusual materials. If another framer said it couldn’t be done, bring it to us. Complex challenges are what we enjoy most.

  • Conservation & Archival Quality

    From museum-grade conservation framing to fine art archival printing on Ilford papers, we protect what matters to you — built to last for generations, not just years.

Every piece tells a story. Let’s frame it properly.

Come into the Ashmore showroom for a design consultation — no obligation, just a conversation about what’s possible.

  • "Just picked up my frame from the legends at Dawson's Framing and I can't express enough how happy I am with the end result. Jacob from Dawson's designed the frame, customised it to what he thought would look amazing and framed it and all I can say is WOW! I have had so many things framed in the past from other frame shops and these guys are by far the best in the business. Couldn't recommend them enough and can't wait to get more stuff framed."

  • We entrusted Jacob with a family heirloom, our coat of arms that had been hand stitched by Gaelic Scottish Highlanders. Something so special to our family for future generations & he did not disappoint. What we received back today, was a completed master piece. The care & thoughtfulness that has gone into framing our treasure is evident. We highly recommended this fabulous company to anyone & we will for sure be back. Thank you to you all, what an amazing team of people you are
