12.1.1 Felstead treats all Artworks brought to us for framing with great care and respect at all times. All our frames are built to either our Conservation Standard or our Museum Standard. This relates to both how an Artwork is framed as well as the materials used. We only use the highest quality materials in each frame. We look to preserve each Artwork as is and will not atomically change, modify, or hide any defects in the Artwork.

12.1.2 All framing work carried out by Felstead abides by our own framing Code of Conduct. The ten clauses of our Code of Conduct relates how Artworks are cared for and the basic standards with this they must be framed;

1. 1. Never carry out any action that cannot be undone. All methods must be reversible without leaving any damage or residue.
   2. All artworks must be handled appropriately. Clean hands, the wearing of gloves, and the use of clean work spaces in required.
   3. The highest quality conservation or archival materials must be used at every stage of framing. No chemicals, acids, or corrosive materials can be used.
   4. All artworks, mounting, and frames must be allowed movement. Expansion and contraction must be possible with changes in temperature and humidity.
   5. No artworks can be cut, trimmed, folded, permanently mounted, or dry-mounted.
   6. UV filtered glazing or museum glazing must be used with all Museum Standard frames.
   7. Artworks must never touch the glazing under any circumstances. Window mounting or fillets/spacers must be use in all frames.
   8. Barrier materials must be used to seal in the rabbet, glazing, and the backing with all Museum Standard Frames. The frame must be protected from any particulates and moisture.
   9. Honest judgement must be exercised at all times. No work should be carried out without the confidence and experience that it can be completed safely and successfully.
   10. Further professional help must be sought out for specialist procedures, such as for paper/painting conservation and restoration.

12.1.3 Whilst Felstead will make every effort to match any samples chosen, the Client understands that slight variations may occur in the finished frames. The Client accepts that hand finishes, such as wood stains and paints, may vary slightly to the samples. Samples on display are for guidance only and exact matches cannot be guaranteed. The final colour achieved will depend on the natural grain, density and colour of each type of wood and of each individual length of that wood. The Client accepts that the exact grain and colour of a wood frame will by necessity vary with each individual length of wood moulding. Exact matches cannot be guaranteed.

12.2 CANVAS STRETCHING

12.2.1 Felstead will treat every canvas to be stretched with care, but there is an unlikely but inherent risk of canvases splitting and painted surfaces cracking. The Client acknowledges and understands these risks.

12.2.2 The Client understands that Felstead will not be held liable for any such splitting and cracking of the paints surface that results from professional stretching.

12.2.3 ’Simple stretching’ is specifically designed for the temporary display of Artworks. If the Client chooses to use simple stretching for the long term display of Artworks then the Client accepts the risk of Artworks relaxing and sagging. Canvas re-stretching is available at the Clients expense.
