Preserving Your Artwork: Do No Harm

Designing Custom Mats and Framing for Valuable Etchings	Resulting Museum Quality Framing (Click for larger image)

One of the tenets of preservation framing is “do no harm.” Toward that goal, we endeavor to offer you the opportunity to frame your valued artwork and memorabilia with:

• Ultraviolet filtering glass
• Lignin and acid free mats
• Cotton rag mounting surfaces
• Reversible mounting techniques

For those very special pieces, we offer museum framing packages:

• Museum glass (ultraviolet filtering glass with anti-reflective qualities)
• 100% cotton rag, museum quality mat boards
• Japanese hinging onto 8 ply cotton rag mount board

Most of all, we want to provide you with the most up-to-date information and materials available today, so that you can make an informed choice. With that goal, we belong to several organizations, i.e. Fine Art Care & treatment standards (FACTS) and Professional Picture Framing Association (PPFA) and attend annual seminars, continuing our education regarding the advances in techniques and materials in the custom picture framing world.

If you are in Novato, Petaluma, San Rafael or elsewhere in Marin County
or the San Francisco Bay Area, please contact us so that we may tell you why
Rousseau’s Fine Art Framing is the best choice to frame your treasured art work!
