WHAT IS CONSERVATION QUALITY FRAMING?
Conservation Quality Framing (CQF) is a method of picture framing designed to protect valuable artworks. CQF uses techniques that are easily reversible and materials that will not damage the artwork. Each type of artwork is unique and requires specific care. Our expertise in all aspects of CQF ensures that we always use the very best techniques and materials to preserve your artwork.
While CQF combines cutting edge technology with expert craftsmanship, we can still be limited by the fragility or inherant vice of an artwork. In some cases where artwork is showing signs of deterioration (such as foxing), treatment by our conservators may be required prior to CQF. External enviromental factors (such as light and humidity) also need to be considered when choosing where to hang your valuable artworks. In some cases CQF is not suitable for artwork and archival storage may be more appropriate.
