True conservation practices lie at the core of our work, ensuring your art remains protected for years to come.
Conservation Framing - an investment in longevity
At FRAME London, we believe preserving artwork is as important as displaying it. Unlike standard framing, conservation methods use archival materials and specialist techniques to protect against environmental damage. This approach represents the gold standard in art care—combining refined presentation with long-term preservation.

All materials that come in contact with artwork must be acid-free, lignin-free, and pH neutral. This includes mountboards, backing boards, and any adhesives used in the framing process. At FRAME London, we source the highest quality conservation-grade materials that meet museum standards. Read more.
