Does picture frame quality matter?
Both the artwork and the picture frame is a composite, which together deserve the term “a work of art.” In this article we will explore five reasons why the importance of picture frame quality deserves thoughtful consideration.
Aesthetic appeal
First things first: the look. A well-made quality picture frame enhances an artwork. It makes everything look more cohesive and eye-catching.
A well-imagined and constructed picture frame has the unique ability to express the owner’s an individual or unique style. Whether it’s in the home, office, or place of business. The quality of a picture frame speaks volumes about who you are.
Durability
Quality picture frames are built to last. At SohoFrames, our bespoke frames are made with premium materials that meet or exceed conservation and archival standards.
Craftsmanship
The quality of our work is the same whether we are making a “standard” frame or something super special. We apply exactly the same care and attention. We also offer options like UV-protective glass and cotton mountboards to increase the protection for your artworks.
Customisation
High-quality framing opens up a world of options in respect to customising the overall look. This includes choice of materials, frame profile shape and size, colour and finish.
Our skilled team specialises in designing and crafting bespoke frames across a range of shapes and sizes. In this way we bring our clients’ creative picture framing ideas to life.
Sustainability
At SohoFrames, we have a strong commitment to ethical practices. We source our timber from an FSC-accredited timber yard. Our frames are made to last, and we make efforts to recycle and upcycle whenever possible. We can even construct and upcycle frames using your own wood, old doors, floorboards, etc.
Final thoughts ON QUALITY
A custom or bespoke built picture frame does have a higher up-front cost. However, we believe this is an investment and over a lifetime of viewing pleasure offers excellent value for money. It is also best to use an expert to frame once and enjoy forever! You also get to personalise the frame to reflect your own individual style and design ideas.
