INSPECT YOUR OWN TREASURES

Watercolors - Giclees - Lithographs and prints in general were not framed properly before 1990's framing explosion. The use of acidic materials, improper use of storage, will deteriorate all original and print art pieces in your home.

Instead of buying new works and throwing away what could be worth a pretty penny, please, take a look at all the prints you have in your home, check for brown spots, paper warping, discoloring browns and dark grays, and check your mat edges for yellowing. Re-framing delays the damaging in your artwork, if you can start with the worst damaged piece first and have it looked at by someone that is familiar with restorations, restore your piece and have it properly framed as soon as you can. It is truly the best gift you can give of something as special as something you already have and love.
