The Chartwell Gallery

Our Conservation Framing Service complies with The Fine Art Trade Guild Specification. The basic principle of conservation framing is that the method of framing must be reversible, without any damage to the artwork. This means that items must not be stuck down on boards of any kind, and all materials within the framing package must be of conservation quality having a ph value of not less than 7, which is the neutral point on the ph scale.Of course we recognize that not everybody will require conservation framing, and so we also offer our standard framing which can include, if required, elements of conservation such as UV or low reflection glass, or dry-mounting onto foam-board in our heated vacuum press.
