Consulting & Education for Collectors –
Whether you have one artwork or many, are a seasoned collector or just beginning, expert guidance on framing your collection has decided advantages.
Surveys
A survey of the frames in your collection provides valuable information: is the frame historically appropriate? Does it complement and support the artwork? Is it framed utilizing museum conservation standards that will protect the artwork? Does the frame need repair or restoration? Receive a written report and scholarly background information on historical frame designs and makers when pertinent to your frames. A survey is a good starting point to see to the proper and effective presentation of your collection.
Projects included: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY (American Paintings Department); Charles Hosmer Morse Museum, FL; Springfield Museum of Art, MA.
