CUSTOM FRAMING / CONSERVATION FRAMING

With Bridges' professional custom framing, you get museum quality materials, including a huge selection of mats and specialty frames.  

Your beautiful fine art, needlework, special object, invitation, or hard-earned certificates should be framed in a manner that does them justice, and prevents their deterioration over time. Your custom framed artwork is an investment in the decor of your home or office, which will outlast many of your other accessories. It is more personalized than most of your furnishings. We will recommend the best design techniques and color coordination to make the framing itself a work of art and uniquely yours. 

Conservation or preservation framing is a method of framing that preserves and protects the life and value of your artwork.  Framing materials used are made to be permanent and they feature colors that will not fade and cores that are pure and clean--criteria that will maintain the aesthetics of your framed pieces for years to come.  The general components of conservation or preservation framing consist of the frame, the glazing, the mat or spacer, the backing and the hinging--all must consist of 100% acid free material.  Everything deteriorates over time; conservation framing helps to minimize the deterioration and avoid deterioration by materials that surround the artwork.
