Original & Vintage Art

While not everybody has the budget for buying expensive, antique paintings or works of art, nearly everyone acquires an original work of art of some sort in their lifetime, even if it is just a sketch on paper. Because they, usually, have a real or intrinsic value, they need to be framed archivally and in a way that shows off their best side. We have a lot of experience working with original works of art and the stories, below, show how we used preservation framing to keep them in fine condition for many years to come. And, while we are not art conservators, we have connections to many experienced artisans who are. We can have the art conserved, if it needs some TLC and restoration, and then design the framing treatment it deserves.
