Protecting and preserving your art for the future is of utmost importance to us at Don Francis Conservation Framing. We are on the cutting edge of preservation techniques and we have wide selection of the highest quality, conservation material available.  Our staff attends the latest seminars and has vast expereince dealing with the most difficult framing situations.

 

Foremost in our minds when framing your art is preservation by controlling light damage and harmful aciditic materials.  We carry only acid-free 100% rag board along with UV protecting glazing to keep your art in the same condition as when the artist produced it. We also carry a line of new UV protection, anti-glare plexiglass - the highest form of museum glazing offered.  Our hinging techniques include the use of Wheat Paper Hinges along with the latest mounting procedures used by the National Gallery in Washington, D.C.  We always treat your art with the utmost care and attention while fitting to insure it's proper presentation.

 

Don Francis Framing also offers conservation and restoration services for protecting and repairing art that has already been damaged.  Our paper conservators can remove harmful acidic backing, repair damaged areas and even remove acid-burn and stains.  We also offer full service painting restoration for oil and acrylic painting regardless of the extent of the damage.

 

Please feel free to come in or call for a preservation or conservation consultation.
