The Derwent Gallery Bespoke Picture Framing Service |
|
|
All the pictures on sale at the gallery have been framed on site by Robin Ashmore. The same high standard of work is applied across the bespoke service. Wherever possible we use conservation grade materials to both enhance and protect the artwork. |

Framing There is virtually nothing we can not frame! Just because it isn't flat doesn't mean to say that it can't, if correctly displayed, be a highly attractive wall decoration. Keys, fans, stamps, cigarette cards, fishing flies, badges, medals and rosettes have all been the subject of the expertise we have at the gallery. |
|
Mounting Many types of mounting are available, from circles, ovals, double mounts and multi-aperture mounts, through to high quality wash and line mounts, a traditional Victorian technique for displaying watercolours, and one practiced by Robin for over 25 years. |
Glass As part of our conservation grade framing service we can offer a selection of glass - plain, plain with UV filter, non-reflective, non-reflective with UV filter and museum glass (the centre panel) which is low reflection, 96% optically clear and with a UV filter. |
|
Cross Stitch and Embroideries Cross-stitch, needlepoint, and other embroideries can all be mounted and framed using traditional methods of stretching with conservation grade materials. |
Restoration Restoration and cleaning of all works of art can be a complicated job even for an experienced professional. We do, however, have trained experts, whose skill can be called upon, on your behalf. |
