You would be surprised at how many different frames are available when it comes to frame your various pieces of artwork. Whether you are framing a painting, print or photograph, you will always want to ensure that you have chosen the best possible frame in which to display your artwork.
Similarly, the mount that you choose will need to coordinate with your frame as well as not overpower and detract from the artwork contained inside the frame. The mount that you use should preferably be of a neutral colour and guide the eye towards the artwork rather than prevent the artwork from standing out.
A mount is also there to protect the glass contained within the frame from touching the artwork and causing any potential damage. The last thing you want is your artwork to become damaged whilst on display in your home. The space between the glass, the mount and the artwork creates an air gap, which prevents any moisture or condensation from collecting inside the frame and causing the artwork to become damaged in any way. The professional framer will be able to advise you about whether or not you will need a mount.
