Our Approach
At Pure & Applied Conservation Framing, we believe that every piece of art is unique and deserves to be handled with care. Our approach remains the same, whether it's a Picasso print or a treasured family photograph. We carefully examine each piece, discuss your preferences and budget, and advise on various conservation approaches. We take the time to go through colour combinations and frame styles, always considering the final location for the framed piece.

We are committed to using only acid-free materials and reversible, archival methods and techniques to preserve your work for you and future generations to enjoy.
