Our gold and black label on the back of your picture frame is our guarantee of excellence in design, materials and workmanship.
You can look after your frame too, by following these instructions:
Take your frame straight home - do not leave it in a hot car.
Never hang or place artwork in direct sunlight, even if it has UV glazing. The sun is very destructive to art. Photographs and drawings are particularly susceptible to fading. If you want to be extra protective of your artwork, rotate it as often as possible allowing for some time in dark spaces or storage.
Do not hang artwork in or near sources of heat or humidity, i.e., bathrooms, heaters, etc. No matter how well something is framed or protected, humidity will surely warp and damage most surfaces.
Do not leave artwork outside. Cellars and garages are not recommended places to store artwork because of exposure to inclement weather, humidity and dampness.
Avoid letting dust accumulate on artwork. When dusting your artwork, use a very soft, non-abrasive, lint free cloth. Paper towels are a no-no because they can leave tiny scratches.
