Professional Picture Framing Tips

My name is Amitavh Bhattacherji. I'm speaking of behalf of Expert Village, and I represent my company Abstract Frames and Supplies Private Limited, Calcutta, India. This is a picture frame with a painting inside a mount. An important thing to be remembered is that the painting is hinged to the mount only to the top, the signature is on the bottom. So, only at two points, it is important to hinge the painting to the mount so that it doesn't slip and fall inside. But, under no circumstances should the painting be taped to the entire outsides of the mount. If you do that, after some time, you will see that the wrinkles are coming on the painting, because the painting tried to expand and the taping on all sides restricted it. It is extremely important and a safe method to hinge the painting to the mount either on the top or, if possible, if it's not a very heavy painting inside, if it's a paper painting, just two small hinges on the top so that the painting has enough space to breathe within the frame. Thank you.
