WHAT IS BOX OR DEEP FRAMING ?
"Box" framing (sometimes referred to as 'deep framing') is the presentation of items that are considerably deeper than a sheet of paper!
Examples include Sports Shirts - Football / Rugby / Hockey etc Sports Memorabilia such as Anthony Joshua's shorts (shown above) Rosettes, Flowers, Medals - the list is endless.
At the foot of the page are photos of some of the more unusual commissions we have undertaken.
We have even framed the sugar flowers from a wedding cake! - BUT we won't do them again!!
The frames are constructed of an outer moulding, glass, a 'mask' border, a 'box' construction which is fully lined to top, bottom, sides and back, and a matching mountboard, all of which is fully sealed on completion.
It's especially important when framing shirts, or similar items, to ensure that the frame is airtight: this avoids any possibility of mould or moth damage in the future. To ensure we get this right, the frame is only sealed when the climatic conditions are just right – we even use a dehumidifier for 24 hours, if required!
Please note that this type of frame takes longer to make than a standard frame, so ideally we do need a little notice. Prices depend on the size, and the type of moulding you require, so please ask for a firm quotation.
