| Custom Master Framing The History of Picture Framing is romantic and brings with it an intimate glimpse of personalities and cultures from the dawn of civilization to the present. The decoration and presentation of Art tells a distinct and fascinating story. Since 1989, Henson-McAlister has carried on a time-honored tradition by handcrafting, finishing, and selling the finest frames from all over the world. With 6,300 frames, H-M possesses the largest selection in the Southwest. Every item brought to us to be framed is respected and treated with great care. Whether an original Masterpiece, a painting by a living artist, or just a favorite photo, Henson-McAlister utilizes the same efforts, methods, and preservation materials. We encourage clients to frame their art "once". Excess handling, even with care, speeds deterioration. If it's worth framing, it's worth framing correctly...the first time. Conservation & Restoration Henson-McAlister has many years of combined experience and education in the handling and care of works of art in various forms. Our primary Conservation and Restoration focus is in Works on Canvas, Wooden and Metal Objects (furniture; frames; some sculpture; and other cultural and architectural objects). As members of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic & Artistic Works, Henson-McAlister has professional obligations to the Historic and Artistic works, to the public, the other conservation professionals, and to posterity. We perform work on pieces of art and objects in order to preserve cultural heritage. All work is priced on a "per-piece" basis, and must be first examined by one of the Principles of the Firm. Conservation activities include examination, documentation, treatment, and preventive care, supported by research and education. The purpose of Conservation is to minimize chemical and physical deterioration and damage that prevent loss of informational content. The goal is to prolong the existence of cultural property. Restoration activities refer to any activities that involve manipulation of surfaces or structures, adding materials to the item in order to stabilize. The goal of Restoration is to perform the minimum necessary work to accomplish the required task. |
