I've just had a quote of £204 to frame the recent POW release by Xenz. The measurement is 74 x 107cm. It's a pretty standard black frame with a mount. Does this sound right or should I look elsewhere?

Cheers.

That's loads. It shouldn't cost that much extra for a larger piece of glass really

[bmjt]

That does seem quite a lot...what kind of glass and mounts are you using?

[pezlow]

Doesn't seem that bad assuming a proper conservation frame and UV glass.

To be honest it would depend on which materials are being used, it's a bit like the how long is piece of string question*


* I know,i know twice the length and half of it

[clerk]

Seems a lot to me. Usually costs me about £90-100 to frame similar sized prints - but the glass is not museum quality.

[craigf]

Again depends on materials, but my pieces tend to average £200 a time to frame

[gtf]

For that size to full conservation standards I was quoted roughly
£120 normal glass
£210 UV glass
£350 "Museum" glass

As others have posted it does depend on the quality/type of the frame as well, number of mounts, etc.

Thank god you r not in Norway!!!

My City Girl cost me 225 pounds (about 80x80 cm single mount with uv glass!!)

My Herakut - Permission cost me 220 pounds (about 65x90 cm double mount with standard glass)

And Ive checked the price to floatmount a 55x76 cm print in a standard white frame!
And it will be around 260 pounds!

F*#$K me!

Any cheap norwegian framers out ther?

I think 3 mounts is the minimum nowadays

Out and About, that framed Xenz looks absolutely stunning. You've set me a standard...

[neale]

Sounds about right to me for conservation framing, I always pay my framer in cash, that brings it down by 25% as we're not troubling the taxman with extra work!!!
