An estimated 40,000 runners will take part in the 2018 Virgin Money London Marathon on Sunday 22nd April, the 38th London Marathon event. Completing over 26 miles around the River Thames is a great achievement for the runners, as well as raising money for charities. Good Luck to all taking part! If you want to display your vest and medal we can frame them.  Framing a sports vest and medal doesn't have to be a huge challenge, at Fine Artisan we can offer simple, affordable solutions. The result is that you can display your London Marathon memorabilia with pride.  We provide a wide range of frames with quality pre-finishes and hand finishes created in our workshop. From contemporary solid oak frames with flat painted edges, stained and painted woods in any colour, matt or gloss white and black frames and textured gold, silver and more traditional mouldings, we can help you decide on the most appropriate frame and mounts to frame your sports vests and medals.  We recently framed a 2017 London Marathon vest with medals in a simple Matt Black deep frame. We also offer Anti-Reflective glass or UV-Filtered to protect objects from fading over time. Our client wanted to include a collection of photographs, we then mounted around the vest. You could include brochures, tickets and any other memorabilia associated with sports and other events.

Collectable memorabilia offers some unique framing challenges. As well as framing them appropriately, conservation must be considered.  This collection of boxer's career cards were double-sided which prevented the use of tapes and adhesives. They could have been held in place and mounted using different methods including using archival plastic sleeves or corner pockets. Our client was not keen on these since they would be visible and could be distracting. Instead we mounted the cards holding them in place with a tray method, this way they were viewable in near entirety and easily removable.  For 20 boxing cards and also a gold title card, a particular multi-aperture mount pattern was requested by our client. The pattern was a dynamic shape and worked very well with the sports and boxing theme. Our client decided on a black conservation mount with black cotton core, which complimented the colourful boxing images.  A gold metal leaf slip was added to the smooth, traditionally shaped, matt black lacquer frame to opulently define the inside edge. UV filtered glass was used to reduce fading with an anti-reflective coating for optimum clarity. A strong and bold design, shape and pattern is a successful way to display a valuable collection of sports cards and other memorabilia.
