As the self-inflicted 'sign guy' I am ;) I LOVE it and would climb over others to get it where discovered. :) ~ Make or have a special frame made for it. Probably flat or satin black with either a matching gold fillet or a gold element running through the center of the frame's face. ~ I concur to leave it alone but backing it is a good option. I would use glass but not allow it to touch, maybe an 1/8'" away, and vented, but.... I would work to mimic that layout on the backing glass so that it appeared better than it is. You would have to try this and see. It would be easy to test and re-do as necessary until you get what you want. This effort not working out then probably just black, sheen as required for the best look. ~ I should think that this done well would enhance its look quite a bit and perhaps enhance its value as well. :)[/QUOTE]
