Framing of 11 medals

A collection of 11 medals which our customer wanted to protect and display so that future generations would be able to appreciate their ancestor's brave service during the World War II.

For medals without their accompanying mounting bar, we would typically place two individual stitches at the top of the ribbon, and then run a loop of transparent thread around the narrowest point of each medal, to stop them from swinging side to side.

The deep navy suedette background the medals have been mounted on, together with the gold picture moulding, create a classic look for this impressive record of military service.

The moulding - 3921AG - is a popular choice for medals, as it has a narrow front profile but plenty of depth to allow us to fit the medals in without them touching the glass.

We then covered the inner edges of the moulding with bespoke spacers made from the same navy mountboard, and finished with Tru Vue™ Museum Clear glass, which provides 99% protection from harmful UV light, along with remarkable low-reflection clarity.
