Sometimes you only need to turn a frame around to see why it needs some attention. This older, previously framed piece arrived with an aged timber backing, layers of old tape and a basic wire hanging system that had certainly done its time. When older frames come into our workshop, we can assess more than just what you see from the front — checking the backing, fittings, hanging hardware and internal framing materials too. Updating these hidden components can help give a treasured older piece a safer, cleaner and more secure future while retaining the frame and character the owner loves.
