Memorabilia / Box Frames

Framing Memorabilia in shadow boxes often requires ingenious solutions: to create a unique presentation as well as to preserve the integrity of the items.

The multitude of creative options available can result in exquisite keepsakes.

Framing a sentimental object keeps them safe, the precious memories fresh in our minds and they can readily be shared and enjoyed with others.
