Vintage prints, posters and artworks are unique pieces of art that have been around for years. They can be used as a decorative piece, or they can be used to create a cohesive look with other pieces of furniture and accessories, making them the perfect addition to any home. They are a part of history and deserve to be preserved in the best possible way possible. Custom framing these pieces is the best way to keep them safe. Custom framing is an excellent way to protect your artwork from damage, dust, dirt and other elements that may damage it over time.

How to Frame Vintage Prints, Posters and Artworks?

There are a lot of items that you can frame such as vintage photographs, posters, maps, book pages and covers and even a handmade artwork. These vintage masterpieces can be framed in a number of ways. It depends on the frame you choose and what kind of effect you want to create. If you want something simple, then the best option would be to use a simple oak picture frame. A beautiful frame for vintage posters or prints is a matte finish frame because this brings out the texture of your piece. You can also opt for a black or white picture frame if you want to add a subtle sophistication to your work. When it comes to framing artworks such as paintings there are several options available like stretching it on a stretcher frame and framing it in a box frame (also called floater frame). You can also choose to add a matboard for that professional finished look. To ensure protection against fading and discoloration of your masterpieces, it is recommended to use glass with UV protection. We have many options for conservation, like our conservation clear glass that provides 99% UV protection and a crystal clear clarity that lets you view your artwork without any reflections or glare. We also have another popular 70% UV protection glass that ensures protection against fading and discoloration of your artwork.
