What do you think?, by baldwin on Aug 22, 2007 14:11:33 GMT 1, I am starting to think about framing this. What does everyone think I should do? White box frame? Black box frame? I can't decide. I like simple frames.
I am going to give mrframeman a bell. At 100cm x 80cm it will probably be a fair bit of money. What do you guys think £200 -£300 for full UV, consevation etc. ?

What do you think?, by Strange Al on Aug 22, 2007 16:08:32 GMT 1, If the choice is between simple black or white box frame, I'd definitely go for black. I think the contrast of a white frame would be too much of a distraction and draw the eye away from the image.
I know you like simple frames, but I think a swept frame (in either Black or Gold) would work very well with the image and that's the avenue I'd probably explore.

Has anyone ever dealt with mrframeman. How much do reckon i'll have to fork out?

What do you think?, by paulah on Aug 22, 2007 16:11:48 GMT 1, Is it oil? You might not need glass at all
Or you could do a perspex box which are all the rage these days! I think they would look better on an original than a print.

What do you think?, by baldwin on Aug 22, 2007 16:18:23 GMT 1, It's an original oil on canvass. How won't this need glass? I would like to have it nice and protected. I am reallt tempted to use a white box frame. I know it may go tits up , but white frames seem to suit everything.
Oh and about that unfotunate remark that cost me a bit of respect - please pm me your reasons ;D

That's very true. Though I think it's worth remembering that Museums are controlled environments, which have the lighting, temperature and humidity set at optimum levels. I doubt Baldwin's home is.
Not that I'm saying all canvases should be framed. In the short term deterioration of an unframed canvas in a standard environment should be pretty negligible. Plus a lot of artists say they don't like seeing their canvas works framed. It interferes with the aesthetic and messes with the natural ageing process.

I was at the louvre the other day and was amazed by how many masters had no glass. If you wanted to touch them, you could. Wierd. I've seen scratch cards better protected.

What do you think?, by Ripper1331 on Aug 22, 2007 18:04:51 GMT 1, On the framing advice is the painting matt or does it have a semi-gloss or gloss finish? If it's matt I would frame it if not you would be fine just dusting it once in while.

It's pretty glossy and shiny. The surface seems solid, like leather. If you scratched it, I don't think it would make a difference. I may just get some expensive glass anyway. I hate the thought of it of being exposed for some reason.
Cheers for the advice everyone!

I'm all for a bit of illegal graffiti, but doodling on the Mona Lisa ain't cool! ;D

What do you think?, by Mister Frame Man on Aug 23, 2007 16:18:06 GMT 1, Hi,
Give me a call when you have decided!
Conservation framed with museum mounting, frame lining tape, moisture resistant tape on the reverse, acid free cori board, basic uv glass etc etc would be around £175. Museum water clear glass (The best on the market) around £120 extra!
Mounted onto a backing board and persex box framed around £200.
Hope this helps!
