Framing & Frame Ready Pet Portraits

Welcome to the framing section of the site. All portraits arrive ready to frame in standard sized frames. Alternatively we can have your portrait professionally framed for you by our local craftsman framer. Christmas in particular is a busy time of the year, perhaps you would like to leave everything to us, leaving you with one less thing to organise.

Please read the information below and use the navigation on the left to find out more.

Frame Ready

When your portrait arrives it will include everything needed to be placed straight in to a standard picture frame.

The Mount / Matt
Pastel and pencil portraits are mounted / matted with high quality archival Bainbridge board with a precision cut beveled edge. It is fade resistant and will protect the portrait for years to come.

The Backing
The portrait is backed with Bainbridge backing board which is also archival quiality and it protects the back of the delicate paper.

Putting it all Together
The ensemble is positioned and held together with professional conservation framing tape. The self adhesive strip will not deteriorate over time.

Protective Corners
i provide plastic protective corners to protect the portrait in transit. I would suggest leaving the corner on while handling the portrait, but obviously remove them before placing the portrait in the frame.

The portrait will be mounted/matted as above and professionally framed in a moulding of your choice.

We have a large choice of frames, pastel and pencil portraits are framed under glass and oil portraits can be framed with or without glass depending on your preference.
