Country Crafts Market Harborough

Craft and framing shop Market Harborough

Country Crafts is a delightful gem nestled in the heart of Market Harborough, a quaint and picturesque town in England. This charming family-run business exudes warmth and hospitality the moment you step through its welcoming doors. The walls of the shop are adorned with a stunning array of artworks, each telling a unique story and showcasing the diverse talents of artists both local and beyond. The atmosphere is one of creativity and tradition, where the sweet scent of freshly cut wood mingles with the faint aroma of inks and lacquers, hinting at the meticulous craftsmanship that takes place within. It is also a crat store and place for local artists to showcase their work.

When I had the pleasure of visiting Country Crafts, I was looking for someone to frame my Rolling Stones prints. The vintage rock 'n' roll prints were old and valuable, and the quality of the framing work they did was truly exceptional. Each print, a snapshot of the band's storied career, was encased in a frame that not only complemented the artwork but also protected and enhanced it. The owners, a friendly and knowledgeable duo, greeted me with genuine enthusiasm. They shared tales of the prints' origins, the shop history, and the painstaking process of selecting the perfect frame to showcase each piece.

The framing options were vast, ranging from classic and elegant to bold and contemporary, ensuring that there was something to suit every taste and style. Their personal touch and attention to detail were evident in every corner of the shop. They listened attentively to my preferences and offered thoughtful suggestions, making the experience feel more like a collaboration than a simple transaction.

The craftsmanship was impeccable, with each frame custom-tailored to fit the prints precisely. The selection of materials, from the richness of the wood to the vividness of the mattes, was done with an artful eye, bringing out the best in the Rolling Stones' iconic imagery. The frames themselves were not merely containers for the art but rather became an extension of the prints, adding depth and character to the overall presentation.

What truly sets Country Crafts apart is their commitment to affordability without compromising on quality. They managed to achieve a perfect balance between budget-friendly pricing and top-notch workmanship, making fine art accessible to all. The affordability of their services didn't mean cutting corners; instead, it reflected their passion for sharing art and their belief that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy it in their own homes.

The entire process, from selection to pick-up, was seamless and efficient. The staff at Country Crafts were professional, yet approachable, guiding me through each step with patience and care. Their love for their craft was infectious, and their dedication to preserving and displaying my precious memories was deeply appreciated.
