Art Consultants Group can provide the correct framing, mounting and matting of designated pieces, considering both the artworks and the décor. Framing has a multitude of applications, and the choice of frame molding are so vast, too numerous to mention here, from metal section to hand painted gold leaf, etc. The following are just a few basic guidelines: Posters and Reproduction Images Often dry mounted and framed in metal section, natural wood or acrylic. Matted with assorted mat board, if desired, using various techniques. Glass or plexiglass. Limited Edition Prints, Unique Works on Paper, and Photography Due to their intrinsic value these artworks are almost always matted differently and according to the work itself, though certain professional standards always apply. We recommend, for conservation purposes, that only acid-free materials be allowed to come in contact with the artwork. We advise that artwork not come directly in contact with the glass or plexiglas. Paintings and Tapestries Some original works in these categories do not require framing. If framing is desired, a variety of liners and moldings can be selected, from metal strip frames to carved gilded wood frames. Tapestries can be mounted in a plexi box, or mounted and framed, as well as draped over a wooden dowel. Here again many creative alternatives are available. Reframing Existing artwork presents the option of remounting, rematting, reframing, refitting and reglazing the image. These techniques can be used for the purpose of conservation of the image or if a piece has been damaged. Reframing can often add a new look and perspective to decorative and valuable work. For clients where budgetary restraints may be an issue, reframing and redistributing the client's artwork offers a fresh look achieved at minimal cost.
