Frame conservation is distinct within the broader field of gilded objects conservation. Many frames are highly valued as objects in their own right, providing protection and support to the artwork as well as enhancing its aesthetic appeal. Proper frame conservation ensures that the frame's structural integrity and appearance are maintained, contributing to the longevity and overall visual impact of the artwork. 

Frame conservation addresses issues related to the frame's structural stability. Frames can suffer from structural weaknesses, such as loose joints, cracked corners, or damaged ornamentation. These issues can compromise the frame's ability to provide adequate support and protection to the artwork. Our dedicated team of conservators use various techniques, including rejoining, re-gilding, and ornamentation repair, to ensure the frame remains sturdy and intact and a protection for the artwork within. 

Conservation framing is an essential aspect of our frame restoration services. We provide "conservation" or "archival" grade framing which is used within museum environments, employing techniques and materials that prioritise the long-term preservation of artworks. This includes using high-quality materials that are acid-free and lignin-free and expert mounting and hinging methods to protect the artwork against potential damage from UV light, humidity, dust, and pollutants.

By providing comprehensive frame restoration and conservation services, we strive to preserve the artistry, functionality, and historical significance of frames. Our skilled team uses proven techniques, archival materials, and a deep understanding of frame construction to ensure these valuable objects receive the attention they deserve.
