Framing – Professionally Presenting and Preserving Art

High-quality framing is far more than mere decoration: it protects the artwork, enhances its impact, and makes it permanently presentable. At Artrahmen in Berlin, custom-made frames are at the heart of our offerings. For art lovers, collectors, museums, and galleries, we offer individual solutions – from classic picture framing to conservation-grade framing of delicate works.

What is Framing?

The term “framing” encompasses all the craftsmanship and design work necessary to safely and stylishly present a picture, photograph, object, or artwork. A professional frame typically consists of the following components:

• The frame profile – material, color, and style matching the artwork
• The glass – e.g., anti-reflective museum glass, UV-protective glass, or acrylic
• The mat board – for depth, spacing, and color accentuation
• The backing board – stabilizing, acid-free, conservation-grade
• The dust-tight and tension-free closure

We individually tailor all these elements to the artwork and your presentation preferences. Our frames combine aesthetics, function, and durability.

Individual Custom Framing

In our Berlin workshop, custom frames are created – for every style, format, and budget. You bring your artwork to us, we advise you personally, and implement your framing precisely. We draw upon a wide range of frame mouldings, glass, and mat boards. Whether you require framing for a family photo, an oil painting, a certificate, or a three-dimensional object – we provide a high-quality solution!

Conservation Framing – Protection for Generations

For valuable originals, delicate materials, or historical documents, we recommend conservation framing. Only acid-free, age-resistant materials are used. The glass protects against UV radiation, and the mat board creates space and ensures air circulation. The mounting is tension-free and reversible. This type of framing is often used by museums and professional collectors – and is also beneficial for private artworks.
