Conservation Framing

Mangoe Arts has built relationships with a wide range of craftsmen from around the world to curate a unique collection of hand finished picture frames. We specialize in conservation framing, and consult with independent conservators to ensure that we practice the latest methods of art preservation. We use pH-neutral museum grade materials, and all of our glass options provide 99% UV protection to best preserve our clients artwork.

We do not like to dictate how art should be framed, rather we offer our experience and expertise to help fulfill our clients own unique vision. Shown below are some of our favourite design projects.
