Custom Framing
Custom Eco-Friendly Framing
Specializing in museum quality finishing of photographic prints and works on paper
At David Levy Photography, we are proud to align ourselves with the sustainable movement, offering eco-conscious customers finishing options that not only beautify their homes, offices galleries and venues, but also support our planet’s future.
Choose from a variety of new frame styles in wood or aluminium, custom made to suit any decor. Do you have old frames that need a new life? Try our Frame Renewal Services (FRS) to significantly reduce waste and environmental impact. We love recycling and up-cycling existing frames.
Going Green with Sustainable Conservation and Archival Practices
By selecting the following sustainable methods for archiving and conserving your framed pieces, we ensure your artwork lasts for generations to come while making eco-friendly choices in the process:
Acid-Free and Recycled Materials including cotton based mat boards, mounting, and backing to minimise the environmental impact of your framing project.
Eco-Friendly Adhesives, Tapes and Glues which offer strong bonding qualities without the harmful chemicals found in traditional products.
Recycled Glass. We can clean and reuse old glass depending upon condition.
UV-Protective Glazing: We offer UV-protective and non-reflective glazing (Art-Glass), which not only shields your artwork from the sun’s harmful rays but is also typically made from recyclable materials, promoting sustainability.
For photography we offer specialized museum quality conservation services:
Neutral pH, Acid Free, Lignin Free, Chlorine Free Passepartout
2, 4, 8-ply thickness
100% Cotton Rag Board Non-Buffered or Buffered with calcium carbonate
For the preservation of historical photographs we highly recommend non-buffered rag board (available by special request).

Existing frames of all types of materials can generally be renewed to add character and charm to a piece of artwork. If you have frames that you wish to re-use, we will be happy to work with you to create something new!
Pricing varies depending upon the condition of the frame. We charge a Base Labor Fee on all FRS orders.
In many cases, if the frame is in good condition (no re-sizing or dismantling of the frame corners), we charge an hourly fee for disassembly, cleaning and reassembly only.
FRS Labor Fees:
Base Labor Fee — DKK 750
Additional work is charged at DKK 1,060 per hr. + Materials
