Antique Sampler

The diversity of textiles presents framers with a number of technical challenges as different forms require different framing solutions. The items need supporting and may require ‘squaring up’ without harming the original piece of work. Conservation framing materials and techniques, particularly where historic textiles are concerned, should also be used.

Here Mal Reynolds (GCF Adv) of Harlequin Frames takes you step by step through the process of framing an antique sampler. His useful advice and handy tips will help you to offer your customers a professional and decorative framing solution for their textiles, and one that will also offer the best practical solution to preventing deterioration and conserving the item for posterity.
