Conservation Framing

Our custom frames are made on site from sustainable Australian timbers. We are able to create specific mouldings in a selection of timber stains and sprayed colour options. Our mounting techniques are reversible so there are no alterations to the original artwork. We use materials that are acid free and have proven longevity. We are constantly striving to improve our products through the use of new materials and techniques.

Fine Art Stretchers

Stretchers

Since 1988 Colour Square has being providing stretchers in Hoop Pine and Western Red Cedar. All stretchers are custom-made in several profiles on site to client requirements. We supply stretchers for individual pieces as well as large collections for exhibitions and acquisitions.

Restretching

With the global art industry becoming increasingly mobile, linen and canvas artworks are frequently transported and stored without their display supports. At Colour Square we offer extensive re-stretching and stretching services. We stretch fine art on linen, canvas, knits, tapestries and paper. We also remove artworks from existing supports and can package the works appropriately for shipping within Australia and Internationally.

Belgian Linen

At Colour Square we stock a selection of Belgian Linen ranging from fine to coarse weaves. We specialise in traditional hand priming techniques in oil and acrylic mediums. If required we are able to produce custom surfaces and work within clients budgets.

We also complete archival repairs to fabrics with damaged areas. Most of our major repairs are outsourced to various conservators around Melbourne and Australia.
