Reasons to Frame your Artwork

Protection: Framing your artwork provides protection from damage caused by dust, moisture, and other environmental factors that can cause fading, yellowing, or discoloration.
Display: Framing your artwork can enhance its visual appeal and make it look more polished and professional. A well-chosen frame can complement the artwork and draw attention to its best features.
Preservation: Framing your artwork with acid-free matting and UV-resistant glass can help preserve it for longer periods of time. This is particularly important if you have valuable or sentimental pieces that you want to pass down to future generations.
Value: Framing your artwork can increase its value, particularly if it is an original or limited edition piece. Collectors and buyers are often more interested in framed artwork, as it suggests that the piece has been well-cared for and is in good condition.
Personalization: Choosing a frame that matches your personal style can make the artwork feel more like a part of your home or office decor. Frames come in a wide range of styles, materials, and colors, so you can find one that fits your taste and complements your interior design.

Booking a Consultation

We would suggest booking a consultation at our Gallery in Ironbridge, Shropshire, to discuss your Artwork and any ideas you have and ensure we both beautifully enhance and suitably protect it. Within our framing consultations, we take the time to discuss your ideas and requirements, the location the artwork will be hung and we will show you the various options including mount board, spacers, mouldings and glazing.

The aim of a good frame is to compliment the Artwork not detract from it, to provide the correct level of protection and preserve it for you to enjoy for years to come. Take a look at our examples of Finished frames page to see a wide range of completed pieces.
