FRAME AND CARE

FRAMING

All Clème artworks are sold unframed, allowing each piece to find the setting that best suits its new home

If you would like your artwork to be framed, I would be delighted to guide you in selecting an appropriate frame, carefully considering the artwork’s colours, proportions and its intended setting

Framing is an additional service and will be quoted separately from the artwork price

For framing enquiries, feel free to get in touch

Finding the right place for an artwork is part of its journey. I would be delighted to help you find the perfect setting for yours — feel free to reach out if you need any guidance

CARE AND HANDLING

All Clème artworks are made with carefully selected, high-quality materials. To preserve the beauty, texture and integrity of your piece over time, please follow these care guidelines:

Keep away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to sunlight may cause colours to fade over time
Avoid moisture and humidity. Do not place the artwork in bathrooms, kitchens, or other rooms subject to high or fluctuating humidity
Avoid extreme or frequent temperature changes. Keep the artwork away from radiators, fireplaces, heaters, air-conditioning units and other direct heat sources
Avoid smoke exposure. Do not smoke in the same room or burn incense, candles or other products near the artwork. Smoke and airborne residues may settle on the ribbons and canvas, potentially causing discolouration or yellowing over time
Handle with care. When moving or installing your artwork, hold it by the frame or edges of the canvas and avoid touching or pressing the ribbons
Do not pull, bend or manipulate the ribbons. The ribbons are individually applied and should not be handled unnecessarily
Touch with care. If touching the ribbons is unavoidable, always handle them with clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils, moisture or dirt onto the surface
Dust gently and regularly. Use a soft, clean feather duster or very soft, dry brush, moving lightly over the surface without pressing into the ribbons
Never use water, cleaning products or chemicals. Do not spray or apply any liquid directly to the artwork. Moisture and cleaning products may permanently damage the canvas, ribbons or adhesive
Do not use a vacuum cleaner. Even with a brush attachment, suction may catch or displace the ribbons
Do not attempt to clean or repair the artwork yourself, in case of staining or accidental damage. Please consult a professional art conservator for advice
No cleaning beyond gentle dusting is required. With proper care, these guidelines will help preserve the artwork and minimise the effects of environmental exposure over time. As with all textile artworks, the ribbons and colours may naturally evolve with age

Please note that any damage resulting from improper handling, unsuitable environmental conditions, attempted cleaning, alteration or failure to follow these care instructions is not the responsibility of the artist. Clème cannot be held responsible for damage caused after delivery due to improper handling, installation, storage, cleaning or environmental exposure

In the event of accidental damage, please contact Clème before attempting any repair or restoration
