Commended
Framers have been awarded an emblem of excellence by the art and
framing industry's trade association, The Fine Art Trade Guild.
Their skills, both practical and theoretical, have been examined
by a Guild Test in a rigorous two-hour test. The aim of the Commended
Framer scheme is to distinguish the skilled from the semi-skilled
and to help the public to select a professional framer who will
aply a high level of expertise to the conservation and display of
their artwork.
Commended Framers have proven expertise in framing artwork on paper
and canvas, as well as an understanding of the properties of the
different types of artwork and how each should be framed and conserved.
They have a professional understanding of framing materials and
equipment: distinguishing features, design implications and when
appropriate to use each. They have been tested on workshop practice,
including the accepted methods of handling customers' artwork. Commended
Framers are competent to advise customers on technical and conservation
matters, as well as design and presentation, while keeping to a
budget.
You can expect frames made by Commended Framers to be structurally
sound, blemish-free and created with care, professionalism and attention
to detail. So, when choosing a framer look out for the Commended
Framer Logo. |
