Design Options for Textiles


The options that exist when custom framing a textile are as vast and varied as the types of textiles; When framing, conservation issues and aesthetic appeal should both be considered and must be discovered before one can decide on a frame design for the textile at hand.

For example, we recently framed two regulations sized flags for a client;

When framing textile of this size, it's very important that the frame depth is deep enough to support the mounting and glass. Our client selected a Roma dark brown moulding, and opted to add a a personal portrait of himself.


The flag was mounted (hand sewn) on a Crescent Convservastion White Mat; this special matting will keep the flag looking pristine for many years to come.
