Framing is an art in itself so ask the experts how best
to enhance your artwork. Ktubahs framing is expensive but this is a good area
to take the long view. UV glass protects your artwork against damage from the
sun which can cause the inks of your ketubahs framing NJ to fade with time. And since this
is a document that you’ll likely hang in your home for the rest of your lives,
it’s worth it to pay a little extra now so that it remains in tip top condition
over the years. Even with UV glass though, experts recommend you not hang your ketubahs framing NJ in direct sunlight. There are lots of choices out there and
recommendations of great framing shops with a reputation for incredible
service, and beautiful frames for your Ketubah framing.
The easiest way to keep a ketubah safe from wine spills,
fingerprints and happy tears before and during the ceremony is to use an
inexpensive Plexiglas poster frame. These are those frames where a sheet of
plexiglas is sandwiched to a backing board by clips on all four sides. This
lets you carry the ketubah safely to the wedding, while making it easy to
access the ketubah for the signing ceremony. It also makes it easy to show the
ketubah at the ceremony and reception by propping it on an easel. After the
ceremony, take your ketubah to a quality frame shop and ask a Ketubah framing
like they would any work of fine art. Any kind of frame will work as long as it
is archival quality. This means that the mat is acid-free, and non-buffered,
and the glass (or Plexiglas) has UV protection. Also, the ketubah should be
attached to the mat using art corners or cloth tape. (I do not recommend that
you let them dry mount your ketubah, since this cannot be undone.) It may cost
more, but the investment will be worth it. Make sure they understand what this
ketubah means to you, and that it is irreplaceable.
A work of art will usually have 3-4" of mat on all
sides, plus the size of the frame itself (1-2" per side). So when framed,
the standard framing will takes up about
16x20" of space on the wall, and the large ketubah will take up
20x26". Framing must be created
using archival-quality paper and inks, designed to minimize the effects of
aging. As with any work of art, proper care of your ketubah is very important.
The two enemies of archival prints are UV light from the sun and acidity from
your hands. It is best to keep the ketubah out of direct sunlight, and behind
UV-protected glass when framed. It is best to handle your as
little as possible, since the oils on your skin can counteract the archival
quality of the paper. If you need to move it, make sure your hands are clean
and dry, and hold it by the edges, never directly touching the image.
Choosing a frame for your ketubah has a lot to do with
personal taste. Maybe you like a modern look where someone else would choose an
elaborate, traditional frame.Y ou should use glass or plexiglas with UV
protection when framing your ketubah.
