Minimum Level Framing
Many of the frames available on the market fall well below the standard of the Guild's Minimum Level. Don’t buy them!
Many professional framers will not even frame items for temporary display to Minimum Level Framing, but some will provide these as an inexpensive 'cash & carry' product into which customers can insert their own artwork. Minimum Level Framing provides a basic frame at minimum cost; the price overrides the frame’s visual appearance and quality.
The Fine Art Trade Guild strongly recommends consumers to have things worth framing done to at least Budget Level. However, Minimum Level Framing is better than sticking pictures onto your walls with Blue Tac or sellotape!!
