OUR CRAFT
Custom framing, conservation-grade.
For art, memorabilia, and the things you want to outlast you.
Over fifteen years in Richmond Hill, with a specialty niche in military framing and conservation-grade techniques for everything else.
CONSERVATION TECHNIQUES
Built to protect what you bring us — for generations.
Every piece that comes through the studio is framed using conservation techniques. That means UV-protected glass, acid-free mats and foam board, and adhesives that won't damage your art decades from now.
Our military site, Framed Guidons, covers conservation framing in depth if you'd like to learn more.
Conservation Materials
- UV-protected glass to filter damaging light
- Acid-free mats and foam board for stable backing
- Archival adhesives chosen for long-term reversibility
- Fasteners and hinges that won't yellow or stain
MILITARY FRAMING — OUR SPECIALTY
From medals to battalion colors.
Military framing is our specialty niche — developed over fifteen-plus years. Medals, guidons, shadow boxes, battalion colors, artifacts, awards, certificates, prints. Each one handled with the care it earned.
Medals & Awards
Conservation-mounted in shadow boxes with full attribution.
Military Artifacts
Helmets, flags, and pieces of unit history — preserved behind conservation glass.
Guidons & Battalion Colors
Custom framed with double matting and metal corner caps.
Awards & Certificates
Conservation-grade matting for diplomas and citations.
Shadow Boxes
Layered displays with insignia, name tapes, unit coins, and medals — composed to tell the service story.
Military Prints
Float-framed or custom-matted regimental and unit prints.
Our sister site, Framed Guidons, focuses entirely on military framing if you'd like to see more.
BEYOND MILITARY
Conservation framing for art, family, and everyday life.
Beyond military work, we frame for the general public: oil paintings, prints, diplomas, sports memorabilia, newspaper clippings, wedding and birth announcements, portraits, and the personal mementos that deserve to be preserved for the people who come after you.
Oil Paintings & Prints
Conservation-mounted with archival matting.
Diplomas & Certificates
Acid-free presentation that won't yellow.
Sports Memorabilia
Jerseys, balls, programs in custom shadow boxes.
Newspaper & Magazine Articles
UV-protected to slow paper aging.
Wedding & Birth Announcements
Mementos preserved for the family record.
Portraits & Photographs
Studio framing for generational pieces.
MAPS & NAUTICAL CHARTS
Antique maps. Civil War maps. Nautical charts.
Our research department sources antique and historic regional maps, Civil War maps, and U.S. nautical charts — reproduced on paper or canvas. Canvas prints can be float framed or gallery wrapped. Paper prints can be mounted and custom framed.
Bring in the map you have, or ask us to find it. Either way, we'll frame it right.
