<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 9933220, member: 79705&quot;]You asked for opinions on framing, of which I was professionally trained in, including museum-quality preservation of historic materials. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sitting unframed in acid-free, no-light, and temp/humidity controlled archive is actually the best method of preservation for most any object. But we like to see them so we make concessions to display them. So no, framing isn&#039;t necessarily the best place... especially with smoking. And climate control of one&#039;s home isn&#039;t climate control that is monitored by a museum... Obviously we make concessions to own things, so ambient moisture is going to be present (or if in desert, the lack thereof can damage things too).</p><p><br /></p><p>You asked about framing, and clearly love your objects, so I was trying to be helpful. We just had to scrape art off glass with a razor blade last week, for someone who lived in a climate controlled home but didn&#039;t bother with a mat or spacers (and they live in the north of USA). It&#039;s depressing, and few people know it&#039;s a problem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
