Before now most of our framing was done in house, we frame the art pieces using quality wooden frames ready to hang, in this article we go deep into our art framing process, and how we handle framing today in partnership with Pictureframes NG.
1. Client approval before framing
Once your artwork is completed, we show it to you first. Framing only begins after you approve the final drawing. Nothing is sealed or mounted without your go-ahead.
2. Frame selection based on style and preference
You can choose your frame or let us recommend what fits best. We often work with:
- Floating frames for a modern, gallery-style look
- Black frames for bold contrast and clean presentation
- White or gold frames for softer or premium finishes
We always guide the choice based on the artwork and where it will be displayed.
3. Glass options depending on preference
We use different protection options depending on budget and request:
- Standard plastic glass for lightweight and safer handling
- Real glass for a more premium finish
Some artworks may also be framed without glass, like pencil drawings a protective canvas film is used to keep the art safe, it all depends on the style.
4. Artwork preparation before framing
For pencil portraits and delicate works, preparation is very important. We:
- Mount the artwork on a flat board to keep it straight
- Secure it firmly before placing it in the frame
- Apply protective canvas film
- Seal the frame
5. Final inspection and finishing
Before any framed artwork leaves, we check:
- Clean surface with no dust, glue, or marks
- Strong and properly fixed hanging system
- Neatly finished back cover using protective brown paper
- Proper alignment and structure
We also test the hanger position to make sure it hangs correctly on a wall.
6. Packaging for safe delivery
Every framed artwork is carefully packaged:
- Wrapped with protective covering
- Edges reinforced for safety
- Placed in secure boxes for transport
7. Framing and delivery process
Most framing is handled through our partner for speed and efficiency. Picture Frames.ng supports fast turnaround, often within 24 hours in Lagos.
Once framing is completed, the artwork is returned for delivery or sent out directly depending on timing and urgency.
