One of the most enjoyable parts of our shop is being part of preserving cherished art, projects, and in this case heirlooms.
This is a wedding handkerchief used in our customer’s family, passed down to each generation. This handkerchief needed to be preserved, but also completely removable and accessible for the next family wedding.
Creating a frame that allows objects and art to be removed is what we is practice in our shop. This piece was a challenge because the handkerchief needed to remain pristine, but the framing needed to also be created in a way that the handkerchief could be removed and replaced into the frame without damage to the frame and mounting. A hidden, removable back was used to create a frame that could be undone without harm to any of the framing materials, and the framing would be reusable after the next family wedding.
It is such an honor to be able to help preserve family traditions and know that our efforts are keeping a cherished family piece safe and sound until it is needed again.
