Classic Photographic Framing Overview

Classic Photographic Framing involves enclosing a print behind glass. The print is positioned securely between the backing board and a precision-cut window mount.

Classic Photographic Framing Advantages

Our bespoke classic photographic framing service produces frames exactly as you would see in international galleries and exhibitions worldwide.

Our classic photographic frames are available in sizes up to 110 inches or 2.8m, although we can accommodate larger requests on application.

We stock a wide range of exhibition-quality mouldings in an array of colours, finishes, thicknesses and depths, with specialist staff on hand to help find your perfect framing solution. Our team are also highly skilled in producing bespoke gallery framing solutions to preserve and protect your work and can advise you on the most appropriate mouldings – we also have readily available samples to put beside your work.

The wooden mouldings we use for our framing are from sustainable sources that meet environmental, social and economic needs for both the present and future, as certified by the FSC scheme. When it comes to passé-partouts or window mounts, we only use the finest 8-ply acid-free and neutral PH museum conservation-quality board. This conservation board is certified by The Fine Art Trade Guild and offers exceptional preservation qualities that conform to the highest conservation standards.

Once your frame is complete, appropriate fixings are attached to the back so that your work is ready to hang. Not only can our skilled team provide advice on hanging systems – but we can offer delivery and installation services too.  

Why Choose Genesis for Classic Photographic Framing?

With in-house production capabilities, we craft Classic Photographic Frames in our on-site framing department. If you also print with us, this eliminates the need to coordinate with multiple suppliers, ensuring a streamlined and efficient process from start to finish. 

We also extend a 100% satisfaction guarantee to all of our services, pledging to either redo or refund should the outcome not fully meet your expectations.

When choosing your glazing, there are many factors to consider. Our team can advise on the most appropriate glazing, considering factors such as the size of your artwork, where you will place it and whether it is due to be transported (and by which means). Depending on these factors, Perspex may be a more appropriate glazing solution as this is more robust and provides a safer solution for larger pieces, those travelling large distances, or internationally. We use anti-reflective Artglass as a standard for our framing, which is the best option for reflective-free and neutral viewing. Artglass incorporates a 70% UV filter to protect your artwork from fading.  

One of the biggest challenges with finished works is transportation, which is often tricky due to the fragility of the piece, its size and weight. We would recommend crating works where possible for international travel or transportation using select couriers, providing utmost security. Crates, which can be custom-built to accommodate the exact dimensions of your piece, do cost an additional outlay but can offer a cost-effective solution in the long term when compared against the costs and time associated with getting finished pieces re-made. We also advise, where possible, using experienced art handlers or installers to ensure the risk of damage is minimal. Not only do we provide advice on transportation from years of experience in this field, but we can create bespoke crates and delivery and installation services too – simply ask us!

The glass in frames can be gently cleaned using glass polish and a lint free cloth, we recommend spraying glass cleaner on to a cloth rather than directly on to the glass to avoid contact with the frame. As a general rule, our range of mouldings can be cleaned with a mildly damp, lint free cloth. We recommend that as little water as possible is left on the wood as this can lead to warping. Our team are happy to talk you through how to care for your individual framed work.
