PRICING FRAMES
The prices quoted below are for frames made to THE CONSERVATION LEVEL which is the second highest of the five quality levels (Museum; Conservation; Commended; Budget and Minimum) as specified
by the FINE ART TRADE GUILD and include labour; use of conservation tapes and adhesives, framer's points, underpinning and picture hanging fittings.
Please Note- these prices are for jobs carried out at my workshop and for customers bringing their artwork in and collecting when finished. If you wish to discuss your framing requirements, arrangements can be made for me to call and collect provided
it is within the West Yorkshire area. Please contact me
for more details.
To establish the price of your frame, first measure your artwork and add on the outer dimensions of the window-mount (usually about 65mm border all round), if required. This gives the rebate size also known as the glass size.
Add the height and width together, this gives a figure in cms which you can then read off from the top of the pricing chart to the right of FRAME SIZE cms. For example, <25 is nought to 25cms and 35 is 26 to 35cms etc.
Once you have selected the stye of frame moulding, note the MOULDING CODE (see Selecting Frames) and read off where that specific row meets the vertical column for the Fame Size.
To get prices for Glazing & Mounts (if required), Undermount and Backing Board etc, follow the column down and add each individual cost to the overall price.

Example (see highlight)
Given a photograph/print/watercolour painting of size 26cms x 18cms which requires a 65mm standard single mount all-round (therefore adding 13cms to both the height and the width) and a moulding
which has a Moulding Code of 3. The customer also requires plain glass.
Oil paintings on board, for example, don't usually require surrounding Mounts; Glazing; Undermount nor Back Boards and so costs can be reduced accordingly. However, oil paintings
on canvas should be stretched over stretcher bars. Prices for such are not included below and advice should be sought by emailing me.
Calculation
|
26cm x 18cm |
Print Size |
|
13cm x 13cm (2x65mm) |
Add on the mount |
|
39cm x 31cm |
= glass or rebate size |
Add the two sizes together 39 + 31 = 70cms
This falls into the "75" (ie between 65 & 75 cms) column range, and with a Moulding Code of 3, therefore the job is priced at £38 arrived at as follows:
| Frame Size | 75 |
| Moulding Code 3 | 25.00 |
| Glass | 04.30 |
| Mount Std - single | 04.20 |
| Undermount | 01.75 |
| Back Board | 02.75 |
| Total for job | £38.00 |
| Order 2 frames | - | less 10% discount |
| Order 3 frames | - | less 15% discount |
| Order 4 frames or more | - | less 20% discount |
