Fine Art Trade Guild Picture Framing Standards

Vallaton Limited, which owns and manages Brampton Picture Framing, is a proud member of the Fine Art Trade Guild. We support and 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 assist the Guild when arbitrating in disputes revolving round whether a given specification has been met

Our 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:
