When an object means the world to you, you want to ensure it remains in the best possible condition so it can be treasured and celebrated. If you are looking to commemorate or display a personal object of great worth, you may have discovered that standard frames don’t always fit or look the way you imagined. Displaying military objects, in particular, carries an important significance to servicemembers and their family.
Old Main Frame Shop offers a variety of custom framing solutions to State College and the surrounding area. Our team has more than 40 years of experience, giving us the means to find the best solution to your framing needs.
Preserve Your Military Memorabilia
There are more than 20 million veterans living in the United States, each with their own particular story about their contribution to the safety of our country. Many of our veterans bring home pieces from their time of service such as medals, shell casings or other trinkets. They often keep these objects as a token of their time and service, but may not know how to go about displaying them for others to behold.
At Old Main Frame Shop, we are proud to offer custom framing solutions to our servicemen and women, as well as their families. Our conservation framing solutions mean that your military memorabilia will remain preserved for years to come, properly honoring your service. We work only with museum-quality materials, meaning that the integrity of your items will remain intact.
The items you or a loved one retain from time in the military contain immense personal value. Maybe a family member who served in the U.S. Marine Corps kept their uniform or medals to honor from their time of service. Preserving these items in a custom frame will allow you to honor your family member’s sacrifice and share their story for generations to come.
Design a Unique Display
Our team will help you create shadow boxes and custom frames to display your military memorabilia. We know that each veteran has a unique story of their time in the service and that each trinket they wish to preserve deserves an equally unique display. We will invest our time learning the particulars of your framing project in order to provide a personalized solution. Whether you wish to display items from the Navy in a custom shadow box or create a case for an aging military token, we can help.
Shadow boxes are best for atypical items, like uniforms — they’re perfect for displaying items that do not lie flat. We are happy to assist you in arranging the items, choosing an appropriate background and selecting the materials for your shadow box. The end result will be a beautiful display that instills pride.
If you are are looking to commemorate military awards or other items that are mostly flat, our custom framing option will ensure they remain protected. A custom frame could house a military award, photograph of the veteran’s team or perhaps a map outlining where they served. As with the shadow box, you can select the materials for the frame that best match your vision.
Preserve Your Memorabilia and Honor Your Veterans
There are countless benefits to framing your military memorabilia. These items represent not only personal sacrifice and bravery, but they also celebrate and honor our great nation. Preserving your items in a shadow box or custom frame allows you and your family to be reminded of these values for years to come.
Framing the military memorabilia of a family member shows appreciation and gratitude. If you are looking to frame items from your own time in the service, you will be reminded how that time shaped you into the person you are today. These items hold intrinsic value because of what they represent — our veterans risk everything when they serve. Show pride in their service by framing their military memorabilia and ensuring their memories are treated with integrity and priority.
