OT(ish) : boxing posters / frames

Post by Mensa07 »

am guessing someone else round these parts has a boxing poster or two hanging up somewhere, I've just got hold of a nice Lewis/Holyfield 1 poster and wanted to get it framed. But, its 60cmx90 and I can't find a f'ing frame that size anywhere online, just a normal plain wooden frame I mean not one from an oil painting.

Anyone else had this problem or knows a place that does frames like that, it seems a fairly standard size for a poster?

cheers.

Rather than spend ages looking for a frame that doesn't quite fit I'd just bite the bullet and have a look for picture framers in the Yellow Pages. They'll be able to do it, and they'll do a nice job. Depending on what frame you get and whether or not you get non-reflective glass with the frame I guess you're looking at £20-40 but you'll get a good job and a nice frame that compliments the poster.

That's what I do anyway!

Look in your Yellopages or around your local town centre for art Galleries/shops they usually offer a framing service and you can choose your own style of frame and backing board/mount colour etc etc.

I've spent a small fortune over the years getting various bits of art and Boxing memoribilia framed by specialists, buts its worth it because they look great hung around my house. :TU:

Treat yourself mate get a professional to frame it for you, it's worth it in the long run. :TU:
