Welcome to the Fine Art Trade Guild web site.
Art lovers, these pages are packed with information for you: what’s new, where to buy, what’s on, award winning art, trends and the pros and cons of art as an investment. Make informed choices. Care for your art and preserve it for generations to come; we tell you how. Set off your art and collectibles, memorabilia and photos to best advantage with good quality framing, by the experts; find them here.
How do you know which framers are professionally qualified? Look for the Guild Commended Framer (GCF) logo! The Fine Art Trade Guild offers this vocational qualification to framers and specialist qualifications in Advanced Textile Framing, Conservation and Mount Design and Function.
Guild members agree to abide by the Code of Ethics and keep up to date with the latest standards, trends and materials through their regular reading of Art Business Today, which the Guild publishes for the trade. In the unlikely event that you fail to get an amicable and speedy solution to a dispute with a trader, let me know! See how choosing Guild members to buy from can bring you added value.
Broaden your horizons and knowledge. What is special about a Limited Edition print? Why should some things be framed to Conservation Level? How do I recognise different graphic techniques? What is a giclee print? What is the difference between a print and a reproduction?
Enhance your walls at home and at work, with confidence. Enjoy!
