Framing
CCAHA offers custom framing services to private and institutional clients for exhibition and permanent collections. Our frames are museum-quality and include both commercial and custom designs. The custom-designed frames are particularly appropriate for 18th-and 19th-century prints and manuscripts, maps, and works of art. CCAHA’s staff of professional conservators is available to provide necessary technical information and support when choosing mounts and frames.
CCAHA frames are available in wood and metal, in a variety of finishes, including traditional gold leaf, metal leaf, and wood stains to match exhibition cases or home interiors. CCAHA can provide ready-made frames for in-house exhibit preparators.
CCAHA specializes in unique matting and framing designs for works on paper, including silhouettes, historic photographs, parchments, oversize artworks, and maps. Our conservation mounts incorporate only the highest-quality archival materials, such as 100% ragboard mounts, Japanese paper hinges, wheat starch paste, and acid-free backing materials.
