Custom Framing, Art Restoration, Fine Art Photography in Claremont, NH

As we get back to a more normal routine after our move to 131 Broad St., Claremont, we pick up where we left off with This Week at the Shop… This week features a photo restoration/reproduction project, with a beautiful custom frame. An antique, hand-colored portrait from a long-past time arrived at our shop, badly damaged and in need of restoration/reproduction and framing. The reproduction work was first completed digitally, bringing back colors, clarity, and contrast, and completed on a custom print produced using archival paper and inks. The archival mounting and frame design feature a slightly more than neutral mat color, letting the artwork stand out behind reflection-resistant glazing, surrounded by dual-frames of hand-polished walnut, and gold metal leaf hand-finished with an antique stain. The entire piece is not only gorgeous but also protected within archival materials for longevity and beautifully appropriate for the time period of the composition. Thank you!
