Having been long-time collectors of historical
documents, we know the importance of document
preservation. Without proper conservation of documents
that are already 100 to 200 years old or more, they will
disappear forever. If that happens on our watch, then
we’ve lost the opportunity to appreciate them, as well
as our investment. Once they’re gone, they can’t be
replaced. Whatever remains in the marketplace is fast
disappearing into museums, libraries, private and
historical society collections; not to be on the market
again in our lifetimes, if ever.
That is why as historical document dealers we make the
conscious choice of housing our offerings in
specially-constructed frames that conform to Library of
Congress Conservation Standards. This, of course, adds
to our cost, but in the long-run will enable the owner
to proudly display their document for a lifetime, and
allow it to continue to appreciate in value as well.
We constantly check the historical document market to
make sure we keep our prices competitive. Even with the
cost of our frames built in, we believe we’ve achieved
that goal. With us you are not buying a document where
you will have the risk of continued mishandling; nor
will you have to try to find a framer who can perform a
proper archival framing service at an affordable price.
Your purchase is ready to hang on your wall.
