Excellent example of how important it is to choose a framer who knows their stuff! This piece was framed in the late 90’s, the package was well done, better than most we reframe. However since the time this was framed many new materials have become available to framers, and new techniques have been discovered and taught-the mat is hand cut (you can tell by the guide lines done in pencil on the back of the mat) which unfortunately transferred into the print. The bottom mat (the one in contact with the print) and the backing were both acid free; the top mat is not. Over the years the lignin and the bleach used in the top mat have turned into hydrochloride acid, which is why the bevel is yellow. Now whether it was the chemical reaction in the matting or the non-conservation glass used that turned the print yellow is uncertain. However what is certain is that today all framers have access to conservation grade materials and the education in how to use them, finding a framer who practices conservation Framing and has taken the time to LEARN how to properly implement this technique is a MUST when it comes to you valuables! With the right framing techniques your precious prints and heirlooms can last generations! The decomposition of any given item is inevitable, so use the right materials and slow the decomposition down. We are PPFA (Professional Picture Framing Association) members and we have taken PPFA certified courses. We have literature on hand for any ‘odd’ project that comes our way.

As I was locking up for the day, I discovered this pretty piece! Who left this at our back door?! 🤷♀️ Sadly it’s quite water damaged and cannot be repurposed, but a lovely surprise none the less! #surpriseart #horses #sunnysurprise #yll #flowers #nosnow #savetheart #thankyouforthesurprise❤️
