Bespoke Framing Standards :
Although the Fine Art Trade Guild has five levels of framing we only offer the highest three. This is because we focus on only the highest quality of framing, and believe that your precious fine art deserves the best quality bespoke picture frames available.
Museum Level Framing is not confined to museums. Some artwork gains museum-quality status over time. Works that are to be preserved for future generations, including high value items, and artwork of potential or historical value should be framed to Museum Level. Processes are intended to be fully reversible up to 35 years, which means that the framed work can be returned to its former state, i.e. prior to framing, at any time, assuming that the artwork is not inherently unstable.

Guild Conservation Level framing gives a high level of protection for your artwork. Not only does conservation level framing look good, it also allows you to view your cherished piece in all its orriginal glory. A conservation level bespoke picture frame will a level of protection to a similar level as museum level framing. In fact, in many markets, for example the USA, no distinction is made between the two. By using conservation quality materials and the best techniques,our expert framers can offer your work protection from physical and mechanical damage, airborne pollution, and acids generated by many framing materials.

Guild Commended Level bespoke frames will visually enhance your artwork, and will give a moderate level of protection from physical and mechanical damage, airborne pollution, and acid damage. A windowmount or slip should normally be used to visually enhance the artwork and distance it from the glazing. Commended level bespoke framing is not always reversible, so make sure your framer knows if you may require the picture returing to its current state. The Guild recommends that processes should be reversible whenever possible, as the future value of works cannot always be foreseen and work ‘in mint condition’ commands the best secondary market value.
