I want to make sure I have a good idea of the best framing method before I take it to the framer. What would be the best method to preserve it and properly show it of? A: This beautiful piece would look great floating on top of a soft cream/beigh or rust linen with some texture approx 3" border to show off the unique edges and use spacers with the conservation clear glass (or the museum glass would look even better but pricey) to give a three dimensional look and finish with a medium wood tone frame, not too busy, with a vintage feel and approx 2" wide and atleast 1"high for the spacing. The piece should be carefully attached by sewing to the background fabric. **Q: Mirrors** *(in Photo Questions)* How do I frame a large mirror? A: If you are remodeling your bathroom and you have a large existing mirror on the wall, it is best to remove the mirror during the remodel and do not try to reuse for your new framed mirror. We would help you with the selecton of framing material to compliment your new bathroom decor and what the best overall size should be including the width of the frame. The choice of mirror and frame style would depend on your decor and style of your new bathroom. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-18.*
