Preservation Framing

A key component of professional picture framing is the ability to preserve the original condition of the items, both at the time they are being framed and in the event that the framing, mounting and matting is removed at a later date. Preservation picture framing, also know as conservation picture framing and museum quality framing, uses materials and techniques that help protect against the effects of sunlight and pollutants that yellow, fade and damage the art. Archival matting, hinging and UV protective glazing (glass or acrylic) are most commonly used to increase the longevity of framed items.

It is important that your frame compliments your work of art. Our frames are of the highest quality, suitable for the finest prints and we have a large and tasteful selection at reasonable prices. If you have an original painting, consider one of our handmade frames. We obtain our frames from a variety of artisans and they all have the detail and character felt only in a handmade piece.
From the hand-rubbed glow of a hardwood grain to the rich patina of a hand-gilded period piece, you'll find the right blend of quality, richness and subtlety in our collection.
