HANDCRAFTED AND TRULY CUSTOM
Splined frames are a hallmark of craftsman- ship. They distinguish a frame as handcrafted and truly custom. Splines are small pieces of wood that are inserted cross-grain in a miter to reinforce the joint. They can be made from the same species of wood as the moulding or from a contrasting species.
HINGING
“Hinging” is a technique used to mount art in a way that prevents long-term damage to the artwork. By creating a hinge, the artwork hangs freely and is allowed to change in size with changes in temperature and humidity. Through use of an acid-free, ph neutral tape, the finest or most fragile artwork can be properly preserved.
PHOTO CORNERS
“Photo Corners” are sometimes used to provide a more “dressy” and classic look for photographic images. They are acid free and can add stability to the mounting process.
BARRIER PAPERS
Barrier papers are another device used to protect art from the damaging effects of lignin and acid. By insulating the artwork from any possible source of damage, the life of the piece is further enhanced.
