WELCOME TO BENARDS GALLERY

North Wales’ largest Bespoke Picture Framers and Premier Retail Art Gallery.

An established family business, founded in the 1930’s by Bernard Butterworth, originally as a printing works.

As the business progressed and developed his sons Malcolm and Rodney joined their father and moved to larger premises. This gave them the scope to expand into different fields and they were the first to introduce the concept of picture-framing and art restoration to the North Wales area. The printing works was disposed of as these new aspects of the business grew larger.

In 1991, after graduating from Durham University, Malcolm’s son Scott joined the business and is now the sole-owner with Malcolm and Rodney having retired.
