Turning Treasured Collectibles into Timeless Displays: Bespoke Framing LPs

When it comes to preserving cherished memories and collectibles, finding the perfect framing solution is essential. At Artscape, we specialise in bespoke framing services that not only protect your prized possessions but also turn them into stunning displays. Recently, we had the pleasure of working on a unique project that perfectly highlights our expertise and commitment to quality.

A client came into our framing studio with two signed LPs—treasured pieces of music history with immense sentimental and monetary value. These were particularly special as they were a gift to their son who especially cherished these two and the associated memories. These autographed records were more than just collectibles; they were a testament to their son's love for music and the artists who created it. Naturally, they wanted a framing solution that would showcase these LPs while ensuring they were safely preserved for years to come.

The Challenge

Framing LPs, especially signed ones, requires a careful balance of aesthetics and preservation. The signatures must be protected from fading, and the LPs themselves need to be securely mounted without causing any damage. Additionally, the client requested a box frame that would not only display the records but also complement their home decor.

Our Solution

After an in-depth consultation to understand the client’s vision and preferences, we proposed a custom-designed box frame tailored to their needs. Here’s how we approached the project:

Material Selection: We chose high-quality, acid-free materials to ensure the LPs and signatures were protected from environmental factors such as UV light and humidity. The frame included UV-protective glass to prevent fading.

Design and Layout: To create a visually striking display, we arranged the LPs side by side, with a clean, minimalist background that allowed the records and signatures to take center stage. The client opted for a black frame, and a dark background which added a touch of elegance.

Secure Mounting: Using reversible mounting techniques, we ensured the LPs were securely held in place without any risk of damage. This method also allows for easy removal in the future, should the client wish to reframe or update the display.

The Result

The final product was a stunning box frame that perfectly showcased the signed LPs while protecting them from damage. Their son was thrilled with the result when he collected the two framed pieces, praising the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating the frame. Not only did the box frame preserve their cherished collectibles, but would also became a striking piece of wall art that draws admiration from everyone who sees it.
