Modern Frame Restoration
Modern and contemporary frames may require professional levels of care and restoration following a disaster.
Frame restoration is not only reserved for historic examples, our team is able to perform the same professional treatments on modern frames – particularly when they are unique to the artwork and cannot simply be replaced.
Each conservation plan is tailored to the materials of a frame, including unusual shapes, mixed-media structures and extremely large pieces.
Modern and contemporary frame damage our team can restore includes:
- Missing or broken features
- Stability of the structure and joinsÂ
- Discolouration and build-up of dust
- Scratches, dents and stainsÂ
- Accidental damage after a fall from height
- Gilding, metallic details and colour disturbances
- Contamination from smoke, water, mould or nicotine
- Loose or broken hanging devices
Bespoke frames
As well as frame restoration we can also provide new and bespoke framing options which are conservation appropriate and accurate to the era of the artwork. These can be created as a close replica of a lost frame or to suit your interior design needs.

- UV protective glass
- Conservation-grade mounts
- Metal frames
- Brightly coloured frames
- Bespoke washlines
- Simple black, white or wood options
- Replacement of hanging mechanisms
- Unusual shapes and sizes
