We use marine ply backing to prevent surface waviness and incorporate spacers to keep the glass from touching the artwork. This protects delicate details from Mumbai's humidity while keeping your piece looking perfect. When framing traditional and religious art like a Pichwai or an antique Shrinathji, the goal is balance. You want a frame that complements the intricate, royal nature of the artwork without overshadowing it. We often recommend ornate, solid wood frames for these pieces, as they provide the necessary weight and presence to match the art's cultural significance. However, beauty is only half the process. Traditional art is often sensitive to its environment. We prioritize preservation by using archival-grade, acid-free matting that prevents yellowing over time. For glazing, we suggest museum-grade glass, which cuts glare and blocks 99% of UV rays, ensuring the vibrant colors and gold foil accents remain as bright as the day they were painted. We also avoid shortcuts like using standard tape, which can damage the original work. Instead, we use reversible, archival-safe mounting techniques like T-hinging. Every piece, regardless of its size, undergoes our inspection process to ensure the frame provides a sealed, protective environment against dust and fungus. Whether it is a large-scale Hanuman Chalisa or a small, personal heirloom, our aim is to ensure your art remains safe and presentable for the next generation. ## About Framebazaar We are Framebazaar, a team of consultants who believe framing is about protecting what you love. Whether it is a traditional Pichwai or a family Shrinathji, we handle every piece with the care it deserves.
