One of our frequent framing clients, Bonnie Hawkins, brought in a very old Navajo weaving from the late 1800's or early 1900's that had belonged to her great-grandparents and grandparents. It was not in the best of shape, but Dana (our shop manager) designed a shadowbox treatment that would preserve it and keep it from further deterioration.

Below is a photo of the framed weaving, along with other photos supplied by Bonnie of the rug in use by her great grandmother and her grandfather (as a child):

 

The frame is a Studio Moulding ST52020 Olea Coffee Brown shadowbox-depth moulding with Olivewood veneer on the face to give it a rustic look. We used plexiglass to safeguard the textile in case of breakage. The weaving was sewn down onto Crescent 87501 Vink Tweed Fabric matting. Plexiglass size is 39 x 67".
