About The Art of Framing: Preserving Your Legacy
Many people think a frame is just decoration, but the real magic is what happens behind the glass. We use acid-free mount boards and UV-cut glass to prevent the yellowing and paper degradation that ruin delicate serigraphs and textiles over time. When you bring a piece to us, we do not just pick a molding; we ensure the internal environment protects the fibers and pigments, allowing the artwork to stay as vibrant in fifty years as it is today.
The Science Behind the Frame
At Painted Rhythm, our approach to framing is rooted in our architectural background. We understand that a frame is a structural necessity for the long-term health of an artwork. Whether we are framing a contemporary S.H. Raza serigraph or a precious, intricate Tanjore painting, the goal is always preservation.
Archival Standards
We avoid standard hardware that can cause long-term damage. Our process involves using pH-neutral, acid-free backing and matting that separates the artwork from the glass, preventing mold and ink transfer. For high-value pieces, we recommend UV-filtering glass, which blocks the specific light wavelengths responsible for fading pigments.
Customization and Aesthetics
Your home interior design dictates the frame aesthetic, but the art dictates its engineering. We have a vast library of over 100 premium mouldings—from sleek teak and modern metallics to ornate, antique-style gold finishes that complement traditional Indian textiles.
Restoration and Reframing
Our studio in Khar West also handles restoration. If you have an inherited painting or a keepsake with damaged edging, we can carefully remove old, acidic materials, treat the frame, and reinstall it using modern conservation methods.
Architectural Consultation
Because we are architects, we do not just look at the piece in isolation. We consider where it will hang, the ambient humidity, and the lighting in your space to ensure the framing is not just safe, but also perfectly balanced within your room's visual hierarchy.

We are a family of architects and art lovers who believe that a frame should honor the story within. Since 1987, we have helped families in Mumbai and beyond protect their most cherished works, treating every piece as a fragment of history.
