Textile art, including fabric pieces and needlework, have a unique charm and beauty.

From intricate embroidery to delicate lace, these creations are a testament to creativity and craftsmanship.

Preserving and showcasing textile artwork has a special place at The Right Angle, and we can provide elegant custom framing solutions for needlework and other textiles.   

Preservation Through Custom Framing

Textile artworks, such as embroidered samplers, cross-stitch pieces, and other needlework are often heirlooms passed down through generations. Custom framing helps protect these delicate fabrics from dust, light, and handling, ensuring their longevity and preservation for years to come.

Custom Matting and Framing Techniques

Custom framing textile art involves specialized matting and framing techniques. Acid-free mats, which are gentle on fabrics, prevent discoloration and deterioration. Framing with UV-protective glass shields the textiles from harmful light exposure, safeguarding their colors and fibers.

Enhancing Textile Art's Presentation

The right frame and mat choice can enhance the visual appeal of textile art. A carefully selected frame complements the artwork while protecting it. Wooden frames have a classic and elegant look, while metallic frames can add a modern touch. Mat colors can be chosen to accentuate the textile's hues and design.

Protecting Embroidery and Needlework

Embroidery and needlework often involve meticulous stitching and fine threads, and can take hours upon hours of work. Custom framing these pieces is a careful process that our framing experts at The Right Angle lovingly undertake.

First we choose a frame that is deep enough to safely cover the stitching.  The piece is then carefully stretched by hand to the correct size, and pinned into place on an acid-free pad.

All of our needlework framing is done using archival quality materials, and with the utmost care for your treasured heirlooms, which you have entrusted to us.   

Showcasing Textiles 

Textile art collages, incorporating various fabrics, threads, and materials, can be elegantly displayed using custom framing.

We also frame clothing, such as christening gowns and other heirloom pieces. Shadow boxes can be used to create a visually appealing and dimensional presentation.

Collaborating with Experienced Framers

Working with professional framers experienced in handling textile art is crucial. We possess the expertise to advise on framing techniques, matting options, and suitable frames tailored to the specific needs of preserving textile artworks.

Maintaining Textile Art's Condition

Regular maintenance is key to preserving framed textile art. Avoid exposing these pieces to direct sunlight or excessive humidity. Periodically check for any signs of damage or deterioration and address them promptly.

Displaying Textile Art with Pride

Custom framing textile artwork allows these exquisite pieces to be proudly displayed as focal points in homes or galleries. Their beauty, craftsmanship, and cultural significance can be admired and appreciated by all.

Preserving Cultural Heritage

These pieces often have cultural and historical significance. Preserving these artworks through custom framing honors traditions, stories, and artistic expressions passed down through generations.

Through specialized framing techniques and materials, these cherished fabric and needlework pieces can be safeguarded, admired, and cherished as enduring works of art.
