MOULDINGS:
We frame in various materials and finishes, including:
• Maple, mahogany, olive tree, burlwood or other hardwoods with a natural wax or oil finish.
• Aluminum or brass, with polished, matte and patinated surfaces.
• Gold leaf in many shades, and silver leaf with and without patinas.
|
MATS:
The choices we offer for framing drawings, prints, and photographs include 4-, 6-, and 8-ply
window mats, and archival, pure cotton rag mats up to 40"x60".
|
GLAZING:
We offer a large choice of glass and acrylic glazing options, including UV-resistant,
non-glare, anti-reflective, and museum materials.
|
BACKING:
We take great care in framing works on paper: our standard practice is to hinge the art to the backing with acid-free corners,
and to use museum-quality, 100% rag matboard or conservation board. Delicate and oversized artwork can also be museum-mounted to a cotton-rag backing
using Japanese mulberry paper and rice starch paste.
