Conservation and museum framing use special techniques and materials in order to preserve and protect artwork in the condition that it was in before framing. Conservation level framing should be used on originals and Museum level framing should be used on valued originals. Using PH neutral materials, such as conservation mountboard; acid-free reversible tapes and hinging papers; acid-free backing board and barrier board.
A portrait of the Principal of St. Andrews University framed in a beautiful gold leaf moulding. The medals were attached using a mechanical fixing so that they could be removed at a future date without damaging them - no adhesive was used. This reversibility is a big part of conservation framing.
We framed this interesting piece for a local geologist - it represents the geological structure of Scotland and is made of cuttings of rock from across the country.Each piece has been hand cut and polished. Due to the weight we had to design the frame to be very strong with a mechanical support at the bottom.

This is just a small selection of the picture frame mouldings that we have on offer. We actually stock over 300 different wood and metal frames and have access to around 10,000 different frames that are available in the UK. We use a large number of bare wood mouldings which we then hand finish to make our own frames.

Needed a mount cut for a frame I had. Popped in on Friday afternoon and the guys were fantastic, got the mount cut at a very reasonable price, helped out my mother with a piece of glass cut to size and the quality of the work is exceptional. Went there based on a recommendation and won't use anyone else now for any framing needs.

The team at Sproson is always cheerful and willing to take on any unique or boring framing project. They deliver on time and on budget! We couldn't be more delighted with the four items they have framed for us over the past few months, especially the custom frame that they modified for our Golf Place relics (photo below). Yes, that's the R and A in the glass reflection and the first tee of the Old in the small round reflection you see.
