Keynsham Picture Framers Since 1992
The story of Tripps of Keynsham, from a photography business founded in 1947 to the bespoke framing workshop on High Street today.
Our story
Desmond Tripp Limited was founded by the respected photographer Desmond Tripp in 1947. Tripps of Keynsham carried on that tradition of care and craft, and in 1992 we diversified into picture framing.
Framing has grown year on year ever since. With our first-floor framing workshop, we offer 700 styles of frame moulding with over 100 mount colours to choose from, and we cater for all tastes and budgets.
Whether you need a single print framed or a whole collection of medals and memorabilia, we feel confident in saying that you can rely on us. Find out more about our bespoke picture framing or book a framing appointment.
