Artwork Care and Cleaning

All of our framed artwork features professional framing and matting. We only use high-quality frames, with acid free paper and matting.

Care and Cleaning

Whenever possible artwork should be displayed away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. It is not advisable to hang an expensive work of art in a bathroom that has a tub or shower in it. The rapid changes in humidity levels will have a harmful effect on it.

A light dusting, when needed, is fine. Use of a soft white bristle brush, sable or badger-hair brush is recommended.

Be careful when cleaning the glass on framed art and photographs. Do not spray glass cleaner or water onto the glass. The liquid can seep behind the glass and damage the pictures. Instead lightly wet or spray a clean cloth, then wipe the glass.

Water will remove gold leaf from a frame, water can also cause the paint to lift from your paintings, will stain a work on paper and can leave a film on your sculpture. The wrong chemicals can do even more damage. If you are unsure, please speak with a dealer, restorer or conservator in your area.
