Preservation Picture Framing is a method of bespoke picture framing with the ambition of preserving something, whether it be a work of art with intrinsic value or photograph’s of sentimental value.
In this process of bespoke picture framing, the act of conservation, preservation and protection are uppermost in the mind of the framer.

Using preservation picture framing materials that are acid free and offering glazing that will best protect artwork from harmful UV light.
As part of our preservation picture framing practice we can also seal glazings to the frame to help stop thrip flies and atmospheric pollutions.(This is also dependant on the type of glass used)
