Fine Art Trade Guild Picture Framing Standards

Watson & Morris  work to the picture framing standards set by the Guild. These principles are as follows:

• To set a consistent bench-mark of picture framing standards
• Enable customers to make an informed choice of different levels of framing to suit customers’ individual needs
• To enable customers to compare quotations on a ‘like-for-like’ basis. It is essential to demonstrate why a job may be priced above that given by a competitor and why a framer is recommending a particular level of framing
• A marketing tool; to show customers there is more to framing than meets the eye
• To educate framers
• To ensure frames are all constructed to a professional standard following the Guild practices by Guild Commended Framers. The levels of service are detailed on the pages below:
• Watson & Morris only work to Commended level and above.
