This intricate, artisan-led process is just one more element that sets LIK Fine Art apart.

In this blog, we’ll guide you through the intricate process of framing fine art from our collection. Read on to discover the thought, care, and skill that go into every frame we create.

The Art of Framing Fine Art Prints

From hand-selected wood to original molding designs, each frame is as unique as the print it houses.

Tradition meets innovation as skilled craftsmen blend time-honored techniques with state-of-the-art processes to create our wood frame moldings. The result is an unparalleled aesthetic featuring the finest quality, sustainably sourced wood. Each frame is a work of passion, finished by hand to ensure it possesses its own distinct character.

Similarly, our metal moldings are handcrafted with unique finishes, adding depth and dimension to the frame. The structural design complements the artwork it displays, transforming the frame into an art object in its own right.

Frames are about more than what you see on the outside, however. We incorporate advanced materials and engineering practices into the less visible elements that ensure your favorite photography prints shine.

Our Custom Liners

Traditional framing often relies on mat boards, but at LIK Fine Art, we take it to the next level with our custom liners. These liners are a critical component in showcasing fine art. Unlike standard mat boards, our wood-fiber liners are milled from a single, complete piece of wood, ensuring a seamless design with no visible joins. This precision craftsmanship results in a smooth, uninterrupted transition between the frame and the artwork.

Each liner is then wrapped in the highest quality, resilient duck canvas made from 100% cotton. This not only enhances the visual appeal of the artwork but also adds significant strength and stability. The combination of seamless construction and luxurious materials ensures that your print is displayed in a refined, sophisticated manner, with the integrity and beauty of the piece fully preserved.

Our Crystal Clear Mounts

A LIK Fine Art frame does more than enhance visual appeal—it provides vital protection for the artwork it holds. At the heart of this protection is our exclusive Crystal Clear© acrylic, a proprietary laminate personally sourced by Peter Lik. This high-quality material is expertly mounted to the photographic print, intensifying the image’s clarity, depth, and vibrancy. In addition to its aesthetic benefits, the acrylic acts as a powerful shield against harmful UV rays ensuring the longevity of your artwork. With this superior protection, you can enjoy your piece with confidence, knowing it’s safeguarded while its depth and beauty are brought to life in an unparalleled way.
