Preserving History: Shadowbox Framing for Historical Artifacts
In the world of custom framing, there are projects that stand out not only for their craftsmanship but for the historical significance they encapsulate. Here’s an exquisite display that showcases two Colt handguns used in the Civil War, each with a story to tell. What better way to honor and safeguard these valuable artifacts than by encasing them in a custom-made shadow box frame?
The Art of Shadowbox Framing
Shadowbox framing is an art form that goes beyond mere framing; it’s a way to turn historical items into captivating stories. In this special project, we combined expertise and passion to create a frame that not only preserves history but also celebrates it.
Meticulous Craftsmanship
The foundation of this remarkable shadowbox frame lies in the meticulous craftsmanship. We chose Larson-Juhl mouldings from their “anvil” line, known for their quality and timeless appeal. The choice of these frames was deliberate – they exude strength and durability, much like the historical artifacts they encase.
Museum-Quality Preservation
Preservation is paramount when it comes to historical artifacts. To ensure the guns remain in pristine condition for generations to come, we used museum glass. This specialized glass not only minimizes glare but also provides protection against harmful UV rays that can deteriorate the materials over time.
Texture and Detail
Texture can elevate a display from ordinary to extraordinary. To add tactile depth to the frame, we incorporated a suede mat. This not only enhances the visual appeal of the piece but also invites viewers to engage with it on a sensory level.
Interactive Framing
In a unique twist, we designed this shadowbox frame with interactivity in mind. You can open it to explore the historical treasures within. This feature allows for a more intimate connection with the artifacts and reinforces the idea that history is not locked away but accessible to all.
