Old photographs tell us a great deal about ourselves, our families, and our history. You may have old photographs lying around the house, perhaps hidden in the attic, an old trunk, or a shoebox.
Bring them to us and we will design beautiful framing options to help you preserve those memories and always remember when.
Esmond Alleyne (pictured) was especially moved by the University of Kansas "Milestones" which documents 125 years of African American Jayhawers. We designed a frame that not only reflected the KU colors but presented the piece with the importance it deserved.
Framing and displaying old photographs can be very rewarding and can give your family a greater sense of its own history. Photos from the past can also say fascinating things about the people in them and the time they were taken. Today, we use camera phones and digital photos so much that we forget that 50 or 100 years ago, photographs were only taken of the most important moments.
Why not bring your collection to us for framing? We can design just the right frame designs for one or many photos that you can hang in your hall, stairwell, living room, den, dining room—any room in your home. Framing old photographs can bring back sentimental moments, recapture special family occasions, and keep alive the memory of generations who came before us.
We have many different framing techniques to choose from. Colorful and textured mats or hand wrapped fabric mats coordinate well with antique photographs. Lovely gold or silver finished frames also complement these design choices and enhance the flavor of times past. Preservation and conservation matting and glazing should be considered to make your memories last a lifetime—-and beyond.
We have everything you need to capture the moment. And don’t forget that old family photographs can be one of the most thoughtful gifts.
Design Studio Hours: Monday – Friday, 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. and Saturday, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
