Are you finally ready to unroll your favorite vintage poster, like this 1960’s Italian L’Avventura Movie Poster, frame it and put it on your wall?
When we start the frame design with our client we always keep these 3 important questions in mind:
What is the value of the poster? The value can be monetary but with an old poster or anything collectible it is also a sentimental aspect. Often times these sentimental papers are rolled up for years and stored under a bed or in a closet corner and come with creases and tears. So we want to make it look as flat as possible and there are two ways to do that: Permanently mounting it, which can decrease the monetary value drastically. Or finding a way to work with the uniqueness and showing the years this piece already “survived”.
Use conservation framing materials! As custom picture framers we know how to conserve your art and we will guide you through making the right decisions. We will use UV Filtering glass or acrylic, techniques that will be reversible if you ever decide to un-frame or re-frame your art.
