Conservation framing differs from regular framing by employing methods and materials that prolong the life of your Artwork. By eliminating acids, oxidizing gasses, ultraviolet light and harmful mounting processes your Artwork will out live you and become a family heirloom.

You never have to ask for these products or techniques at Erickson & Ripper Gallery. They are our standard. For a very detailed explanation of the science involved with our mat and mounting boards please visit this link

Glazing (glass) is another important element for you to consider. Our new standard for excellence in glazing is “Museum Glass.” It is optically pure (colorless) and combines ultraviolet filtering with the elimination of glare!

For special situations we use the very same glass the protects Leonardo da Vinci’s Ginevra de' Benci at the National Gallery of Art. “Amiran” has all of the properties of Museum Glass combined with Kevlar for the ultimate impact resistance.
