When quality matters

Museum quality faming is not always required or desired. But what is most important is that we know what it is, how to achieve it and when to apply the museum standards.

At Arts Edge Photo & Frame we will ask you questions about your artwork being framed to be able to offer advice on the minimum framing standards recommended for your needs.

Museum quality framing provides a level of protection against environmental pollutants and the effects of the degradation of framing products for a period up to 35 years in normal conditions. Museum framing is suited to museum-quality works and artwork requiring preservation. This includes artwork of high monitory value and artwork of actual or potential historical value. At this level all processes relating to the art must be fully reversible and all materials must be benign. Ideally a Guild framer or conservator should examine the frame every five years. It is the responsibility of us, the framer to recognize when artwork may require special treatment from specialists such as art conservators and to recommend to the customer appropriately.
