Bespoke Medal Framing · Manchester
Hand-built conservation frames for military, sporting and commemorative medals — UV glass, archival mounting, multi-aperture layouts with cap badge, photograph and engraved plaque. Made in our Timperley workshop, shipped UK-wide.
Built around the recipient
Whether it's a grandfather's WWII service group, a father's Long Service & Good Conduct, or your own marathon PB — a medal carries a story that deserves to be told properly. We frame medals from our Timperley workshop with the same conservation techniques museums use: hidden archival mounting, acid-free boards, UV glass.
No drilling, no glue, no pins through the ribbon. Court-mounted and swing-mounted sets are preserved exactly as worn. Multi- aperture mounts let us combine medals with cap badges, regimental insignia, photographs, citations and engraved plaques in one composed display.
Each medal is mounted with conservation-safe fixings — never glued, never drilled. Ribbons sit flat and true, clasps and bars stay original. We frame full sets, single campaign medals, sporting medals and commemorative coins.
Conservation glass on every medal frame to stop ribbon fade and tarnish over decades on the wall. Museum-grade and anti-reflective upgrades available for brightly lit rooms or south-facing display walls.
Medals alongside cap badges, regimental crest, photograph, citation and engraved plaque — all cut into a single conservation mount. We design the layout with you before cutting a thing.

Three ways to frame them
One medal, mounted dead-centre on a deep conservation mount with optional engraved plaque underneath naming the recipient, regiment and service dates. Classic and quiet.
A complete service group — court-mounted or swing-mounted as worn — displayed with cap badge, regimental insignia and a portrait photograph. Multi-aperture mount cut to your spec.
Marathon and Ironman medals, school and club awards, commemorative coronation and jubilee pieces. Same conservation build as military work — sized around the achievement.

Beyond medals
The same shadow-box and conservation work goes into signed football shirts, boxing gloves, cricket bats, ceremonial swords and rugby caps. If it carries a story you want kept safely on the wall, we'll build a frame for it.
