Vintage Poster Restoration, Framing, and Installation
We specialize in restoring, mounting, and custom-framing vintage movie posters with care and precision.
Our poster preservation process is designed to protect the value, history, and visual impact of each one-of-a-kind piece, whether it’s a mid-century film poster, a classic cult favorite, or a rare international print.
Many posters we handle are 40 to 60+ years old and arrive with visible wear: tears, folds, creases, or paper deterioration. Each step of our process follows long-established archival techniques critical to maintaining collectible value because improper handling can cause irreversible damage and destroy a poster’s worth.

1. Receive & Inspect Posters
Posters are carefully unpacked and inspected upon arrival. They often come rolled or flat-packed. We document their condition to ensure proper archival handling and traceability throughout the restoration process.2. Archival Poster Mounting
Using professional archival mounting techniques, we secure the poster without trimming or altering its original dimensions. This wet-to-dry process allows the poster to expand and contract naturally before stabilizing for framing.3. Measure Final Poster Dimensions
After drying, we measure the poster precisely to determine the exact frame size. This ensures a perfect fit and clean, professional finish.4. Custom Frame Fabrication
Based on the final dimensions, we order a custom frame from a trusted local framing partner. Thanks to our long-term relationship and wholesale pricing, we can offer museum-quality frames at accessible rates.5. Custom Plexiglass Sizing
We source UV-protective plexiglass locally, custom-cut to fit the poster. This shields the artwork from scratches, environmental wear, and sun damage while enhancing visual clarity.6. Install Plexiglass into Frame
We install the plexiglass with precision, ensuring a snug, clean fit that reinforces the overall structure of the display.7. Frame the Poster
