Old Documents

Old Document

These are documents that might be copied, but never replaced.  Once they are damaged they are no longer originals,. This is why extra care must be taken when handling.

This category applies to all the rest of the paper items you may want to frame,

including wedding invitations, land deeds, and calligraphy to name a few.

Whether they are in good condition or not, it is always best to use

conservation framing materials and techniques to prolong any further degradation.   .

Otherwise, use the same types of frame designs recommended for other art on paper.

Tip: Tattered edges, rips, and even missing parts can enhance the character

and hint at the age of these older pieces.



It is common to float them in front of a background mat so the irregularities of the artwork can be seen and enjoyed.
