Pro-Frame Design has a complete restoration service.  We cater for Photographic, Artwork & Frame Restorations and also provide a Mirror Re-silvering Service.

Most Photo and Artwork Restorations are a result of Foxing or Acid Bleed, where the item has been mounted onto a board that is not acid free, these items are a result of either poor quality framing or simply from framing practices before conservation framing was even considered.

We also see alot of water or fire damaged items that need attention, and in most cases can be brought back to their pre-damaged life.

Some customers choose to have an old frame restored, rather than using a new frame with an aged look. It may be that the item is an heirloom and they want to preserve it for future generations. The costs in some cases can be quite expensive depending on how intricate the frame design is and how much damage has occured, nether the less, Pro-Frame Design can bring it  back to life.

Mirrors, like Antique frames, are often brought to us for resilvering, depending on the shape of the mirror, it is more economical to just replace it, however, should it be a special shape, with sculpting or maybe the shape of the mirror isn't square ( eg the sides are curved, and the top is concave ), then opting to have the mirror resilvered is probably the best option. The process involves the coating on the back of the glass being stripped clean, then a new mirror finish is a applied, costing varies, depending on size and work involved, but the end result is always flawless.
