TO REFRAME OR NOT TO REFRAME
Ask yourself these questions:
- Is the artwork or photograph framed with archival materials ?
- Does it look tired?
- Is the art or photograph damaged?
- Does the piece suit my aesthetic style?
- Is it a fit for my new space?
- Does the artwork look outdated in new surroundings?
- Does the existing frame bring out the best in my new piece?
- Is the artwork worth more than just sentimental value?
SOME THINGS TO THINK ABOUT
If the artwork you inherited or purchased is more than 25 years old, it is very likely that the materials used in framing it are not fully archival.
- Old mats and backing containing wood pulp are acidic. Over time, they will burn, discolour and can eventually destroy artwork on paper. Archival-quality mats are the answer.
- Standard picture-framing glass allows damaging ultra-violet rays to fade and burn artwork but UV-filtering museum glass solves that problem.

Like furniture, frames can wear out, become dated and need to be replaced.
Updated framing styles help your favourite pieces harmonize with new pieces and with your new aesthetic style.
By re-framing, old art can be given a fresh, new look while still respecting the era in which it was originally created.
Even antique works can look great in a modern setting with an updated or simpler presentation to change the overall look and feeling of a piece.
New, hand-crafted, period-specific frames mean you won’t have to give up the traditional look you love when replacing a severely damaged, antique frame.
