Need Help?
Yes, many certificates and photographs can be carefully restored before framing. Specialists can repair torn edges, reduce stains, or digitally restore faded images. Once restored, conservation framing materials are used to protect them from further damage. This process ensures that historic documents not only look better but are also preserved for the future. Combining restoration with quality framing helps safeguard sentimental and historic pieces for generations.
Conservation framing uses archival-quality, acid-free materials and protective glazing to prevent deterioration. Historic items such as medals, documents, or photos are often fragile and easily damaged by light, moisture, or poor-quality materials. Conservation techniques ensure these items are preserved in their original condition for as long as possible, without altering their authenticity. This is particularly important for family heirlooms and community displays, where the historical and emotional value is irreplaceable.
Honour boards and RSL displays can be fully customised in terms of materials, design, and layout. Options include timber finishes for a classic look, engraved plaques, or modern frames that suit community spaces. Professional framers work with organisations to design displays that are both durable and respectful. These displays often combine text, medals, and photographs, creating a powerful tribute to those who served. Customisation ensures the final piece reflects the values and history of the community it represents.
Lasting Displays
Military and medal framing goes beyond presentation — it’s about keeping memories safe while ensuring they remain meaningful for families and communities. We offer shadow box framing for medals and badges, creating secure and elegant displays that protect delicate details. Conservation framing techniques are used for historic documents and certificates, preventing deterioration while keeping original features intact. Our services also extend to larger-scale projects such as honour boards and RSL displays, designed with both functionality and respect in mind.
By combining craftsmanship with care, we help transform these items into lasting tributes that honour those who served.
