Framed Shadowboxes, sometimes called shadow boxes, are a wonderful way to show life as it's been lived.  Shadowboxes are also an excellent way to preserve memories for generations to come.  We custom frame shadow boxes for a variety of purposes.  In may cases objects and personal items are framed to represent a reflection of a distinguished career.  Most often, this is typified by a distinguished military career.  At other times, shadow boxes are used to house sporting memorabilia.  We have framed jerseys, knives, hats, balls, and other baseball memorabilia.  Golf balls, score cards, hole flags and passes make great shadowboxes.  Football related items make excellent candidates for shadow boxes!  Below, you will find a stadium seat we framed.  Antique art, collectable items, and civil war artifacts all benefit from the protection of a shadow box.  Below are a few examples of custom framed shadowboxes produced for our clients.
