About Us
Forty years in the professional framing industry
Here at Lee Wah, we are passionate about interior decor and design! We opened its doors in the Central district, Hong Kong backed in 1973, when we quickly discovered that our high standards over the decades are what made us unique to others. In the past 45 years, our family-owned framing company has grown to encompass a highly skilled team of craftspeople and designers that offer high quality custom made framing to individuals, artists, renowned galleries and international auction houses. You are sure to find something that suits your taste and style!
This is our new online platform delivering bespoke gallery quality framing and archival photo printing to clients.
Photographic printing
We use professional wide-format photo printers with 12 colors pigment-based ink system, for high-fidelity, archival pigment prints. The printed photos are fade resistance up to 100 years¹. Every print is created with the same care and attention to detail that we put in to framing.
¹Actual print stability will vary according to media, printed image, display conditions, light intensity, humidity and atmospheric conditions. Lee Wah does not guarantee longevity of prints. Visit www.wilhelm-research.com for the latest information.
" A good frame can completely change a work. When you first see a work that’s been framed, you should be drawn immediately to the image itself. We then like the eye to cast out to the frame, and, finally, to make a connection with the object in its entirety. If you’ve got a slight imbalance on the frame, or an imperfection on the materials, it’s going to distract you from your enjoyment of the image. It’s really about harmony."
Qualified Framer
Our craftsmen are the only framers in Hong Kong that holds both the Certified Picture Framer (CPF) and Guild Commended Framer (GCF), awarded by the Professional Picture Framers Association from the USA, and Fine Art Trade Guild from the UK.
These qualifications further validate our processes and materials that are used in framing artwork, acid from framing materials, protecting artwork, mechanical damage and airborne pollution.
CPF and GCF are internationally recognized qualifications in the framing industry. More than 25 countries in the world have farmers qualified for these recognitions.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT ALL
