Framing & Display Options

A beautiful frame not only protects your artwork, it elevates it.
At Knutsford Art Gallery, we help collectors present their pieces with the care, style, and craftsmanship they deserve.

Whether you prefer modern minimalism, classic gallery frames, or bold statement finishes, we offer guidance and recommendations to ensure your artwork looks exceptional in any space.

Professional Framing Recommendations

We work closely with trusted framing partners who specialise in fine art, originals, and unique surfaces such as hand-painted saws and mixed media pieces.

We can assist with:
✔ Custom-made frames
✔ Bespoke mount choices
✔ Non-reflective or UV-protective glass
✔ Floating frames for canvas works

Choosing the Right Frame for Your Space

Every artwork and every home is unique.
We offer personalised guidance on selecting the perfect frame style, considering:

✔ Your interior décor
✔ Wall colour and lighting
✔ The artwork’s palette and detail
✔ Whether you want a bold statement or subtle enhancement

If you’re unsure which frame suits your piece, just send us a photo of the room, we’ll happily provide suggestions.

Framing for Limited Edition Prints

For limited editions, we recommend:
✔ Archival, acid-free mounts
✔ UV-resistant glazing
✔ Precision-cut frames for a gallery-finish
✔ Fully sealed dust covers

This ensures your edition remains protected and retains its long-term value.

Framing for Original Paintings & Mixed Media

Original artworks may require more tailored framing options depending on medium, texture, and size. Our framing partners can create:

✔ Shadow box frames
✔ Float-mounted canvas frames
✔ Resin-safe materials
✔ Deep mouldings for textured work
✔ Frames suitable for hand-painted saws or metal pieces

We advise on the safest and most visually effective method for each artwork.

Installation Support

If you require assistance with hanging or installing your artwork, we can offer:

✔ Professional installation guidance
✔ Hardware recommendations
✔ Advice on placement height and lighting
✔ Specialist installation for oversized or heavy pieces

Your artwork deserves to be displayed with confidence and care.

Protecting Your Artwork After Framing

We provide advice on:
✔ Cleaning non-reflective and UV glass
✔ Maintaining wooden frames
✔ Avoiding humidity damage
✔ Positioning away from direct sunlight
✔ Long-term conservation best practices

These simple steps protect your investment for years to come.
