    When Steve brought us a rare 1902 double-sided advertisment for the "Ingersoll Dollar Watch," he wasn't just preserving a piece of paper, but a meaningful piece of history.
     
    To showcase the ad and honor its significance, we created a custom frame that allows both sides to be viewed, floating the piece between two panes of museum glass.
     
    The piece is finished with an antique silver molding and suspended from a chain; a clever nod to the watch's own design and elevating its display from archival to artful.

  • The result is not only a framed document, but simultaneously, a story, preserved in full. A perfect example of how thoughtful framing can elevate a memory into a lasting display.
