Framed HM Coastguard Medals

Here are HM Coastguard medals brought to us to frame in 2023 by a very proud wife, as a surprise gift for her husband.

Our customer knew she wanted something timeless and natural so, thinking about the Scottish coastal landscape, we decided on a wooden picture frame moulding with a classic oak veneer along with a deep marine blue top mount over a smokey blue mount beneath, leaving a 5mm 'reveal'.

We then mounted the medals on an Ivory undermount which was a perfect colour match for the inside of one of the medals.

The addition of a stainless steel nameplate, etched with name and location details, and sitting perfectly on the frame's bevelled edge, makes a great finishing touch.

We use nameplates which are made in the UK and come in various sizes and colours - including silver plate and gold leaf - and which are used to enhance frames in some of the world’s most prestigious museums and galleries.

For your most treasured items, such as medals and memorabilia, pinning a nameplate to the front of the frame is a great way to elevate the overall display, as well as personalising it.

If you have a treasured shirt you would like to protect and display in frame book an appointment at our Showroom here in Derbyshire on the edge of the Peak District for a no obligation quote.
