A recent customer was more than pleased with the float mount framing we created for this collection of 28 small format originals and was kind enough to share photos now that it's been installed in her beautiful office.

You never know where a family keepsake may take you. This project started with a photo on a customer's cell of her grandparent's farmhouse phone that was leased for over 75 years. The phone company refused to sell the phone when the landline was finally disconnected but our customer, determined to capture the memory, saved the typed number from the center dial and the local lumber mill ad with enlarged numbers to assist dialing. After our customer shared the phone's story, we used our Gallery Moments services to provide a print of the phone on aluminum, special ordered an antique dial identical to the phone in the photo, and assembled everything in a shadow box designed to emulate the utilitarian black phone itself. Protected with museum glass, the clarity is almost glare free as if you could dial out at any time. Our customer loved the result and we enjoyed creating a new family heirloom to transcend time for her. Let You've Been Framed protect and share your cherished memories from countless yesterdays today.

The reflecting Trek Bicycle store's neon sign across the street and my hand aiming my phone provide the best examples of how the technology inherent in museum quality glass reduces reflection while adding clarity significantly. Notice how it disappears when it reaches the pane of Museum Glass on the right. For a limited time, show this Facebook post and receive 15% off Museum Glass if you choose to upgrade.
Remember those gum wrapper chains made popular in the 60's? A customer of ours came across this impressive specimen made by his mother in HS tucked away for no one to see.

Youve Been Framed is experienced in turning all your heirlooms into lasting gifts of quality.

W. James McGlynn's "East Main Street, Newark, DE" was painted in 1993 and yet, except for the removal of the bank behind the famous clock (left), the first few blocks including the Methodist church have seen little change.
The signed and numbered print is currently available at our shop for $80, just in time to winterize your home.
