You asked for opinions on framing, of which I was professionally trained in, including museum-quality preservation of historic materials....
I understand you want to preserve them! That's why I was letting you know the framing on that piece is not recommended as it can damage a map.
Float mounts directly to glass are never recommended for art you want to survive. Ambient moisture causes art to stick to the glass and it is...
The marks are for pre-fabricated stretchers you could/can buy in an art store at the lengths you needed them. So good news, not a Chinese factory...
French silver mark of Minerva (Athena)... It's tough to see her helmet fully in this strike. You can see this mark on 925-1000's main page and of...
