Object Mounting

Efficient art object mount making combines overall aesthetic considerations with a concern for each object's nature and safety., avoiding problems and adverse reactions from use of incompatible materials.

With our background in design, the goal is always to create an object mount that virtually disappears, thereby not interfering with the integrity or silhouette of the objects they support.

Numerous materials are used to display the objects to their full potential, this can be acrylic, brass, wood or steel. There is no single object mounting material solution, which is best for all art museum or art objects.

Our mount makers are familiar with a full range of mount making practices, from pinning small delicate ancient art objects, to designing and fabricating large structural mounts. These object mounts (armatures in the USA) are carefully padded to prevent abrading to the objects. Whilst our designers work with our mount makers to make sure the aesthetic appearance is maintained.

Safe, efficient installation of museum quality objects, requires skill, understanding and teamwork. Working closely with museum staff we are able to facilitate cost effective yet stunning object mounting display solutions.

Our object mount making and installation services allow museums, galleries and private art collectors the opportunity to have beautifully designed & crafted art mounts (armatures).

For those objects that need to travel, we provide tailor made anti-vibration packing cases which dramatically reduces the chance of breakages whilst in transit.
