SGF, Supreme Grumble Framer
As I gathered, wood has a pinch of an acidic PH and its fumes may damage the artwork over time.
Would you please help me answer these two questions below?
1. Is metal leafed wood archival or not with respect to the art work? In this case the wood is covered by succesive layers of gesso, clay, shellac, oil size, metal leaf and varnish.
2. How is the art work usually protected against potential damage from being framed in wooden frames?
