Native Timbers

A signature Artis Pura finish — celebrating the colour, grain and character of Australian native timbers.

Native timbers are particularly beautiful when paired with artworks that reflect the Australian landscape — from contemporary paintings and photography to Indigenous works on paper, bark and natural materials.

At Artis Pura, native timber frames are a signature of our work. Each piece brings its own unique character — from the rich warmth of Blackbean to the textured character of Spotted Gum and Silky Oak. Natural grain, colour variation and organic imperfections mean that no two frames are ever quite the same.

Our bespoke native timber range is sustainably sourced, carefully hand-sanded in the studio and finished with traditional Australian beeswax to enhance the warmth and character of the timber. We favour finishes that celebrate rather than disguise the natural beauty of the material.

The result is framing that feels organic, tactile and timeless — a natural complement to contemporary and traditional artworks, Indigenous pieces, photography, textiles and treasured objects. Each frame is chosen to complement the artwork it surrounds, bringing a warmth, honesty and genuine sense of place that feels distinctly Australian.

Not just a frame — a piece of Australia.

There is something special about native timber. No two pieces are ever exactly the same. The grain, colour and texture tell their own story, creating a frame with warmth, character and a genuine sense of place.

  • Hey Lil, I just want to say thanks for your suggestions on how to frame our painting. We could not be happier with the outcome. You are a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend you to other potential clients.
