Conservation Framing

Mangoe Arts has built relationships with craftsmen from around the world to curate an extensive collection of unique hand-finished picture frames. Building on decades of experience in pursuing old world craftsmanship, we regularly 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 in order 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.
