Exeter Fine Arts

Custom framing is generally understood to be framing by professional framer with access to a large selection of mats and frames. The professional framer should have the experience to help you select the proper materials to enhance and protect your  valuable art or keepsakes. Ready- made and home- made framing quite often is too restrictive for proper framing and generally is used only as a cost saving alternative. Exeter Fine Arts uses only conservation materials so they can be considered the norm for the following discussions.

Paper art, which includes watercolors, prints, keepsake letters,  cards and occasionally an oil or acrylic painting, will usually be matted and under glass. The matting should complement the art and not overwhelm it and the colors  should not not clash  with the clients  expected location for hanging.
