So why should your precious art pieces??
I am ceaselessly perturbed when customers bring in their expensive art pieces or sentimental photographs for reframing. Glass is literally slapped onto them without acid-free matting or leaving a spacer, creating "yellow stains" on such art pieces. In humid or damp climates, prolonged condensation also results in photographs being stuck onto the glass. Unless a client insists, I will not allow glass to touch any subject brought to for framing. Not only is it aesthetically more attractive, the spacer method also protects the object. Just like good acid free framing. I was often challenged on my audacity to defy a century of traditional framing method. Am I implying that all other framers are responsible...? I do not claim to be the pioneer of these caring practise. Museums worldwide use these same methods and find the idea of invaluable art pieces coming into contact with glass ludicrous. I am merely taking the trouble and readily providing the same principal of "museum framing" to all my clients. Being a perfectionist and refusing to compromise, I have a strong commitment to strive for framing even a museum curator would approve.
