adverb · adjective
adverb: insitu
In situ (/ in ‘sitju:, - “saitju:, - “si:-/; (often not italicised in English) is a Latin phrase that translates literally to "on site". Its also a very good bottle of wine! Our name, Insitju Framing & Conservation Ltd was conceived from the In Situ Reserva wine and the concept of conservation on site:
“frescoes have been left in situ” - “conservation work carried out on site or in place” “in the original place”.
Our Picture Framing & Fine Art Restoration Story
Insitju was set up in 2012, initially based in Ivybridge, moving to a larger unit in Ermington in 2014. However, we outgrew our premises again and have finally relocated to Modbury. As a limited Company, registered at Companies House Insitju provides accountability, professional standing and security in the knowledge that the company is well established and reliant. We are now stockists of Guild Design paints, which we use on our hand made and hand finished frames as well as offering contemporary & traditional frames. We are a small family business with a personal touch and we pack a great deal into the quality of products we offer.
