This Silk Scarf Survived The Spanish Civil War
We were privileged to mount this colorful memento from 1930s Spain. This scarf saw it all: youthful idealism, revolution, repression and war. The bright colors and delicate fabric are protected by Museum Glass for display today.
XL Cross Stitch Steals Hearts
Hand stitched with love over 20 years ago, this giant cross-stitch was in need of re-stretching and a new presentation. Previously a parallelogram, blocking magically pulled the textile back to square. Floating on tan linen, this lovely piece looks beautiful in a broad oak wood frame. The family heirloom can now be enjoyed for decades to come.
Korean Wedding Jacket framed in ebony walnut shadowbox with Optium Museum Acrylic for UV protection.
Antique Summer Dress Floats Like A Dream
A vintage linen dress with charming embroidery is mounted on flax linen and capped with a custom acrylic box for display and preservation. One of those pieces that conjures up a story!
Vintage “Seattle Times” Paperboy Apron
One of our favorite projects! This vintage apron was worn by the client’s grandfather. We mounted it on a simple off-white linen platform covered by a custom acrylic box. An elegant conversation piece!
Hermes Silk Scarf in Matte White Frame
Turn a silk scarf into a statement for your walls! We mount it with sewing for a smooth look and protect the colors and delicate fabric with Conservation Glass to prevent fading and keep the scarf pristine.
Needlepoints Are Cool Again
“Safe Space” needlepoint framed in a glossy green frame with a purple mat to add color and fun! The client wanted to keep it cheerful and this design does the trick.
Embroidered Slipcover Framed As Elegant Artwork
A colorful stitched slipcover was floated on a cream mat and sewn into place for support. We used a bleached taupe grey frame and created some depth with a shadowbox for a perfect, simple presentation. Conservation glass protects the threads from UV light and fading.
Beaded Skirt from Africa in a Shadowbox
A heavily beaded skirt with leather trim required special treatment for presentation. Our framer sewed it onto a linen mat and added matching shadowbox strips for depth. A leather-wrapped frame finished the rich and elegant design.
Silk Scarf As Art
A gorgeous Hermes scarf is pinned to acid-free foam board, then framed in walnut molding with a gold lip. Conservation Clear Acrylic protects it from light and dust.
Tibetan Hat in Gold Frame and Filet
Filets are small “mini” frames that can be set into a mat. In this design, the filet repeats the gold of the frame, adding a luxe touch to this memento of a trip to Tibet.
Papal Beanie In Gilded Silver Frame and Museum Glass
The client wanted to preserve memories of a trip to Rome and an audience with the Pope. We chose a deep silver gilded frame to reflect the opulence of the Vatican and to accommodate the 4" depth of the papal beanie. A photo and silver cross were inset with a matching silver filet to balance the design. Deep red linen added a dramatic touch. Divine!
Baby’s First Christmas in a Custom Frame
Shadowboxes are a perfect way to preserve special memories, like baby’s first Christmas, Hanukah or birthday. A brushed brass plaque matches the gold toned frame, but the focus is a great expressive photo of this happy boy, and the actual hat he wore to meet Santa.
Conservation Mounted Sports Jersey
Sports jerseys are highly collectible and make a great addition to a media room. Jerseys can be folded into a neat shape and mounted with minimal stitches. All mounting is completely removable to protect the value of the jersey. Black frame and white matting add a sporty look to this design.
Vintage Cake Topper in Acrylic Box
A clear acrylic display box is a great solution for special objects like this vintage cake topper. We designed a linen platform and hidden mount to give it stability.
