Popular Questions
What are swept frames?
Often found in galleries and museums, swept frames are highly decorative frames that introduce an element of luxury into your home. Like most frames, they're made from real wood, but these frames boast a stunning carved plaster finish. This is applied over the corner mitres, so the joints are seamless.
What glazing does my swept frame ship with?
Your front cover will be made from our Clarity+ glazing. This is a high-grade PMMA product that's the same we use in our hand-crafted custom frames.
How do you recommend framing priceless art?
A barrier board is recommended when framing artwork of higher value in a swept frame. It reduces the possibility of harmful chemical reactions between the MDF back and the artwork.
What backing does my swept frame ship with?
All swept frames arrive with a 2.5mm MDF backing board. This provides additional rigidity to the frame whilst allowing easy access to the enclosed artwork via the supplied framers-tabs.
Can I order a mount for my swept frame?
Yes, but you'll need to order it separately. We have hundreds of choices available for these frames, enabling you to achieve the desired look.
Can I order a framed mirror?
We can supply swept frame mirrors, but you'll need to contact us to get a price.
How do I hang a swept frame?
For information regarding hanging the fixings supplied, please view the specific product page of the particular item you're interested in.
What if I can't find my size?
Our flexible PVC covers are perfect for this type of frame because they're resilient to scratching and damage during switch-overs.
