Our selection allows artists to present their work in a manner that complements their aesthetic and enhances the overall visual impact.

With us, artists can find the perfect frame to accentuate their contemporary art pieces, providing a finishing touch that truly reflects their unique vision.

Frames and Artistic Preservation

Artwork is vulnerable to the effects of time, but a quality frame ensures its longevity while enhancing its presentation. Frames provide essential protection against dust, fading, and physical wear, preserving the integrity of the piece for years to come. They also contribute to the artwork’s narrative, emphasising its theme or mood through complementary designs and materials. For example, sleek, modern frames amplify the minimalist beauty of abstract pieces, while ornate, vintage frames underscore the elegance of classical works. Beyond aesthetics, frames help structure the viewing experience by focusing attention on the artwork itself. Frames are indispensable in creating lasting impressions and safeguarding artistic creations.

Choosing the right frame involves more than just matching colours—it’s about finding a style that aligns with the essence of the artwork. Simple frames allow bold or colorful pieces to stand out, while float frames are perfect for creating a modern, gallery-like feel. These frames are particularly popular for canvases, as they showcase the edges of the artwork, giving it a sense of depth and elegance. Wooden frames bring a natural warmth that suits traditional or earthy pieces, adding timeless appeal. By carefully selecting a frame that fits the tone, medium, and purpose of the artwork, artists and collectors can ensure that their pieces are beautifully presented and visually impactful.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to Choose the Right Frame for a Painting?

Choosing the right frame for a painting involves balancing style, size, and color. Neutral-colored frames like black, white, or natural wood are versatile and highlight the artwork without overwhelming it. Ornate or metallic frames can enhance traditional or classical paintings. Always consider the painting’s dimensions and choose a frame that complements the artwork's style while protecting it for long-term display.

What Are the Standard Sizes of Art Frames?

Standard art frame sizes include popular dimensions such as 8x10 inches, 11x14 inches, 16x20 inches, and 24x36 inches. These sizes are widely available and fit many common canvas and paper artworks. For non-standard sizes, custom frames are an excellent option to ensure a snug and visually appealing fit that protects and enhances your art.

How to Frame a Watercolor Painting?

Watercolor paintings are typically framed with a mat board to prevent the paper from touching the glass. Choose an acid-free mat and backing to protect the painting from discoloration over time. Secure the artwork with archival tape, place it inside the frame, and seal it to ensure proper preservation. The mat adds a professional look while safeguarding the delicate surface of the watercolor.

How to Select a Frame for a Canvas Painting?

Canvas paintings often look best in floating frames, which create a modern, gallery-style appearance. Choose a frame that complements the canvas's edges and overall aesthetic. For thick gallery-wrapped canvases, framing may not be necessary, but a simple or minimalistic frame can enhance the artwork's presentation while providing additional protection.

Can You Frame an Unmounted Canvas?

Yes, unmounted canvases can be framed, but they first need to be stretched onto a wooden frame. Once stretched, the canvas can be placed into a traditional or floating frame. Stretching ensures the artwork remains taut and secure, preventing wrinkles or damage, while the frame adds an elegant finishing touch. Custom framing services are helpful for this process.
