Perfect Frame for a Perfect Game

Our customer found this newspaper in his grandfather's house along with another newspaper celebrating this perfect game win. After discussing which paper he wanted to frame we decided on this one, it had a more celebratory feel to it.

We mount all of the newspapers we frame on Black Mountcore so that the other side of the paper doesn't show through like it would on a white board. After mounting, we mat it in a white matboard and frame it with a navy blue frame from Larson Juhl.

Framing Materials:
Larson-Juhl Confetti Navy Frame
Crescent Brands White Sale Mat
Tru Vue Conservation Glass

Bridge of the Saint Angelo Castel, Rome Italy

Inherited by our customer, this piece was originally framed in an older style oak frame with a patterned pink top mat and dark grey bottom mat. Framed in this manner the piece looked very outdated and it didn't do this piece any justice.

We brightened and changed the look and feel of this original watercolor by using a brighter matting and more modern but timeless gold frame. The artwork was painted on illustration board, we built up the backing using museum board to float the artwork in the center before matting. We added the artists bio on the back in a mylar pouch.

Frame Materials:
Larson-Juhl Spencer 2 Gold with White back edge
Bainbridge Ivory and Crescent Real Teal matting
Tru Vue Museum Glass
