FRAMING and MOUNTING
Good framing does more than enhance appearance. It plays a vital role in conserving artworks.
At Abbott & Holder all framing is carried out using conservation-grade materials selected to protect the artwork while presenting it to best effect.
Our framing and mounting services include
- General advice on artwork presentation and preservation
- Conservation Framing
- Conservation Mounting
- Supplying and fitting replacement UV and Museum glass
- Frame restoration, including re-sizing and gilding
- Sourcing of period frames to suit art works of all dates
Our mounts and frames are hand made by Mark Coakes, our full-time, in-house framer. He works from his purpose-built studio in Dorset and delivers to us at the end of each month. Works are then fitted at our busy workshop and storage space in S.E. London. We only use acid free conservation board for our mounts. Mark applies all lines and washes by hand using traditional methods.
Every framing project is approached individually, taking into account the age, condition and character of the artwork.
