The Fine Art Trade Guild specifies five appropriate levels of framing using different qualities of materials and framing techniques. The chosen level can affect cost, but more importantly, the level of protection and conservation provided as well.
Provides a basic frame at the lowest cost, where price takes priority over both quality and appearance. Suitable only for short-term or temporary display. Many mass-produced pre-made frames from big retailers fall below this minimum standard.
This is suitable only for replaceable artwork of no commercial or sentimental value. It is about providing a visually acceptable frame, but makes no allowance for protecting the artwork or it’s long term visual appearance.
This is the Guild’s third highest framing level. It serves two purposes, in that it is about visually enhancing work while providing fair protection. We consider this level of framing as our minimum level we frame to.
This is our preferred minimum level of workmanship. All techniques are reversible and use conservation (archival) grade materials to protect the artwork. This level is suitable for medium to high commercial or sentimental value items, and provides protection for at least 20 years.
This is the highest quality framing available, using premium archival grade materials for lifetime protection. Any ‘high value’ or irreplaceable artwork or artifact should be framed at this level. All processes are fully reversible.Artwork protected from airborne pollution and acids for around 35 years in normal conditions.
