The frame can either add to the beauty of a painting or take away from it. That’s why you need to choose your frame carefully. Most galleries will sell you the whole painting including the frame, but in some cases, you may be asked to pay extra for it. You may also be presented with several mounting and material options.
Make sure that the gallery uses archival framing. The mat board material they use should be 100% pure cotton rag, which is acid-free and is able to counteract acids and pollutants. Boards made of wood pulp are inferior to cotton rag mat bards.
If you are buying a print, make sure that a spacer is used in framing to keep the surface of the paper away from the glazing surface. This prevents mildew, molds, and water spots.
The hinges of the best frames are Japanese paper. Rice paste is the preferred adhesive. They should also have paper dustcovers stretched across their backs to keep dust particles and even insects from accessing the painting.
