We are committed to the excellence of mountmaking and installation of art
objects for exhibition.
Working directly with collectors, fine art conservators and designers, we bring a conscientious and qualitative approach to the presentation of art objects that compliments the aims of your exhibition.
Our expertise includes the installation of two and three dimensionsal objects such as archaeological artifacts, sculpture, jewelry, textiles, paintings prints and rare books.
Our experience enables us to work with objects of various scales mounted to the specifications required.
Museum quality materials are used to craft custom mounts from diverse materials such as brass, plexiglass, paper or a combination of materials designed for longlasting use.
We provide the proper care and protection you require for the art objects you display.
Additionally, we offer a maintenance program to protect and care for permanent art installations and exhibitions on an ongoing basis.
The goal of a good mount is to cradle the object so as to protect it and display it. The spectrum of object type within a collection or exhibition is diverse. Even within the same type of object, considerations such as condition of the object and how it will be displayed can vary greatly. Custom mountmaking is used to tailor mounts to each object and to meet the specifications for its display.
Mounting a rare book by opening it to a specific page, lifting a pendant, tilting a cakeserver or fitting hieroglyphic stones into a massive wall all require different types of materials and mount design.
A variety of conservation approved materials are available to the mountmaker. Some traditional mountmaking materials include brass, wood, lucite (or plexglass), paper, ethafoam as well as different combinations of these materials. Mount specifications are dictated by the object itself, the exhibit team as well as the workability of the mount materials. A good mount is one that is safe and that offers high visibility to the object.
Examination of an object as well as consultations with museum professionals such as conservators, registrars and exhibit coordinators can determine an object's condition before it is mounted.
This information is invaluable to the mountmaker as it will aid in the decisions that need to be made about the handling of an object as well as the type of material to be used for a mount. This type of team coordination can help insure that the match between object and mount will be as close as possible to a perfect fit.
