Just in time for the Fall Semester! One of our customers brought in a lovely jacket letter and certificate to frame and it came out stunning.
Picture
​The antiqued gold fillet that lined the inside of the acid free mat really complimented the old engraving style border of the certificate.
Picture
​This was framed in Museum Glass so that you can see the rich texture of the school letter in great detail. The glass will also protect the letter from fading which is important because both textiles and certain red pigments are notoriously fugitive. 
Picture
​Everything was tied together with this rustic textured gold frame.  It has a soft luster in most lights that adds accent to the composition without dominating the scene.

​Now, her award and letter are preserved for years to come in a lovely elegant presentation!

Beads and Leather

​We had the recent opportunity to preserve this beautiful piece of Native American History.  This doll was very old yet still had it's intricate bead work and delicate leather fringe intact.  It may even have been stuffed with horse hair.  Though in good condition, it was fragile due to old age and being open to the elements.
Picture
​We set about the delicate task of sew mounting the doll onto an acid free backing.
Picture
​Unlike regular fabric, leather is a solid material and stitches cannot slip through the grain undetected.  We were able to mount the doll through existing stitch holes in the leather to retain the integrity of the piece.
Picture
​The customer chose a nice mat to frame out the doll visually but being a piece with deep dimensions, it was decided that we should use matching shadowbox risers to give the piece an overall open feel.  In the photo above, it's almost like the doll is patiently waiting to be finished in their new home. 

Now, it is finished and resting inside a maple shadowbox frame with museum glass. This beautiful piece of history can be admired by many instead of being stowed away in the dark.
