What We Do
At Eden, we pride ourselves on using the best materials to preserve all artworks in our care.
We use acid-free hinges to mount the artwork on the backing board without permanently altering it.
Our framing meets conservation standards, as all the materials we use are acid-free (PH neutral). All artworks are framed with hinges that are reversible by water, should you ever wish to re-frame the artwork.
We visually enhance artwork and offer a high level of protection suitable for collectable art.

Framing Styles
Floating
Many of our prints feature a 'deckled' (or torn) edge, for which we recommend a 'float' option. The artwork is adhered to a mountboard, leaving a white border between the print and the inside of the frame, showcasing the edge of the print. Floating is a reversible method of mounting and will not damage your artwork.
High Float Mount
A high float is a more contemporary spin on the standard float technique. We use an extra piece of board between the backing board and artwork, to raise the print and give the work a more 'floating' aesthetic. This is currently our most popular framing option.
Moulding
Trapped
If the print has a straight edge, or already has a border as part of the print, then no border is required. The print is framed flush with the edge of the frame.
Window Mount
A window mount is used to create a 'cut out' window inside the frame of your print. The window mount sits on top of the print, usually overlapping the edges slightly, creating a clean border around the piece in a classic style. The mount width is included in the overall size when measuring frames.
Mouldings
As a standard we offer the following frame mouldings, but get in touch if you have specific requirements.
Glazing
We use glass as standard with our frames, however for shipments outside of London and the UK, we would only recommend perspex.
We have a number of other specialist options that we'd be happy to provide a quote for, including UV glass, UV perspex, Truvue 92 glass, anti-reflective glass, anti-reflective Museum glass, and anti-reflective Truvue Museum Optium perspex.
