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.
