Pure & Applied Conservation Framing

At Pure & Applied Conservation Framing LLP, we are a family-run business with over 35 years of experience in preserving and enhancing works of art. Located on Bermondsey Street in London, we take pride in our expertise in all aspects of the fine art and exhibition world. Our aim is to provide exceptional attention to detail and a passion for ensuring the success of each project.

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.

Conservation

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. Our bespoke approach involves exceptional attention to detail, and our multi-talented workshop team can create new mouldings, finishes, and mounts to suit all specifications.
