The Joseph McCarthy workshops and showrooms are situated in the historic Pantiles in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.  It's here that the company hand-crafts every unique frame using antique moulds and traditional techniques. Every Joseph McCarthy frame now carries a Mark of Quality as a guarantee of craftsmanship and authenticity.

Joseph himself has 30 years experience designing and making traditional and contemporary frames.  His clients include private collectors, public institutions and Royalty.  Joseph's expertise is highly-respected in the field of handmade frames and he has appeared on the BBC's Restoration Roadshow.

His company has been making and restoring frames since 1837.  He is currently in partnership with the Tate to research and catalogue his unique collection of reverse-carved, boxwood moulds used for frame decoration known as the 'Bloomsbury Collection'.
