Elwyn and Neville Crawford have turned their picture framing business into a fascinating art form
Customer requests include framing for an Indian head-dress, a steering wheel, wedding memorabilia and stamps
Neville said a skilled picture framer was more than a mere craftsman "The framer is also an archivist, historian, applied scientist, designer, interior decorator and assessor"
"A picture framer has to be able to understand, ascertain condition and identify what it is. It's all about understanding design. Honesty and integrity are all important in this business"
