What to expect…
Ultimately a frame should protect and enhance a picture, without dominating it. Good conservation materials (acid free) are always used by Claire in order that a frame and its contents lasts a lifetime.
You may need to consider specialist glass, does the picture need protecting from UV light? or will it hang in an area that will get a lot of reflection? Claire can help with all these decisions.
Hand finishing
All frames are built by hand, using foot operated machinery. Attention to detail is paramount to any framing job.
Glass
Standard float glass (left), UV glass, anti reflect (right), water white…and so on.
Old fashioned non-reflective glass is not advisable, as it will grey the picture giving a flat misty appearance, try instead the 21st century equivalent, anti-reflect water white glass (no tint) and has 70% UV filter (highly recommended).
