old frame in a new one
old frame in a new one
been given an early 20th century photo in its original frame but with the glass missing,the customer wants it to go as is in a new frame with both sides showing (has a description on the backing paper) my problem is finding a neat way of suspending the frame without it touching the glass either side,have tried a neat fitting reverse beveled mount both sides with foamcore in between,but not that happy with the results so far,any ideas?

Hi Dougie
I guess you mean suspend the photo without it touching the glass. Mount both sides of the photo and then sandwich between two sheets of glass.

Re: old frame in a new one
I'm interested in being able to do this kind of double sided display. The description of how to set up the package between 2 sheets of glass is clear, but I wonder how you fix it into a frame in a way that makes the back look pleasing as well as the front?
