When framing artwork there are several approaches possible. Here are two important elements to keep in mind:

a.) Historically informed frames

b.) Personally appealing frames.

Be it an 18th century print or a contemporary oil on canvas, you need to find a frame you feel at home with and that does not compete with the work of art.

Glass:

When using glass over a valuable print, consider the maximum elimination of ultraviolet rays. They can cause your work of art to fade with time. Also ask for non-reflective glass.

Matting:

The matt board must be made of cotton fiber, or acid-free matting which will keep your artwork safe.

Molding and Liner:

If your painting requires a molding and liner please consider proportions when choosing. The liner and the molding should not be the same width to maintain proportion and balance.
