Box Framing

Box framing is a specialist technique that creates a sense of depth by placing space between the glass and the artwork. This added distance not only enhances the presentation but also provides an extra layer of protection, ensuring the piece never touches the glazing.

According to the Fine Art Trade Guild standards, box frames are a preferred choice for valuable and delicate works, as they:

  • Prevent condensation damage by separating art from the glass.
  • Allow for airflow, helping preserve the condition of photographs, fine art prints, and original artworks.
  • Provide the structural depth needed to safely display three-dimensional objects such as textiles, memorabilia, medals, or mixed media art.

Why Choose Box Framing?

  • Professional Conservation – Meets the Fine Art Trade Guild’s guidelines for long-term protection.
  • Versatility – Ideal for both flat works (photography, drawings, fine art prints) and 3D objects.
  • Visual Impact – The shadow gap creates a gallery-style effect, adding presence and sophistication.
  • Premium Craftsmanship – Every box frame is custom-made with precision to suit the artwork.
