Framing Services
Aviation Art is not only a seller of some of the best aviation artworks from around the world, but a full-service gallery as well.

It is important that your prints are not ruined or devalued by poor quality framing. All prints and originals framed in the Aviation Art framing workshops are framed to full conservation standards to ensure the highest possible standard of presentation.

Because of the high demand for our framing services for all types of artwork, our services include:

• Only acid free materials used throughout
• Conservation mounting of prints
• Choice of standard, non reflective or conservation glass
• Use of acid free barrier board

We also carry out work from simple mounting to custom made displays. including wings, medals, additional signatures etc. - all to the highest standards.

Print Care
Limited edition prints by leading artists usually maintain their initial published value, and of course many increase in worth, so it is important to care for them appropriately.
As Aviation Art is one of the few galleries to actually commission work direct from the artist, we insist on using the best quality materials when it comes to reproduction.All work and frames made to order - not mass produced.

We use a heavy-weight fine art quality acid-free paper when our prints are produced in Europe.

Consequently, this superb quality paper enables the finest possible standard of reproduction. Further, Aviation Art specifies only the best quality fade-resistant inks available for the printing process and we advise our collectors to avoid hanging prints in direct, or strongly reflected sunlight.

When handling unframed prints, collectors are advised to take care to avoid bending or kinking the paper.

Care should also be taken to use acid-free or conservation materials when framing and collectors are advised always to use qualified professional picture framers, such as Aviation Art’s framing service, to ensure their prints are mounted properly.
