| FRAMING |
| Provide
the correct framing, mounting and matting
of designated pieces. |
|
| Posters and
Reproduction Images |
| Dry mounted and
framed in metal section, natural wood or
acrylic. Matted with assorted mat board,
if desired. Glass or plexiglas. |
| Other frames of
various materials can be selected.
Matting has various applied techniques as
well. |
|
| Limited Edition
Prints, Unique Works on Paper, and Photography |
| Due to their
intrinsic value they are almost always
matted differently. However certain
professional standards always apply. We
recommend, for conservation purposes,
that only acid-free materials be allowed
to some in contact with the artwork. The
only acceptable type of tape is either a
dry glue paper or linen tape. |
| Framing has a
multitude of applications, and the choice
of frame molding are so vast, too
numerous to mention here, from metal
section to hand painted gold leaf, etc.
We advise that artwork not come directly
in contact with the glass or Plexiglas. |
|
| Paintings and
Tapestries |
| Some original
works in these categories do not require
framing. A variety of liners and moldings
can be selected, from metal strip frames
to carved gilded wood frames. Tapestries
can be mounted in a plexi box, or mounted
and framed, as well as draped over a
wooden dowel. Here again many creative
alternatives are available. |
|
| Reframing |
| Existing artwork
presents the option of remounting,
rematting, reframing, refitting and
reglazing the image. This is often done
for the purpose of conservation of the
image, as the piece may be damaged and
one or all of these applications may be
called for. Often reframing adds a new
look and perspective to decorative and
valuable work. |
| Budgetary
restraints may be an issue. Reframing and
redistributing the client's artwork
offers a fresh look in wall decor and is
achieved at minimal cost. |
|

the most qualified restorers in the
marketplace. Artwork that is damaged or
