For the Postercowboy (or any other vintage movie poster dealer), this is a rhetorical question, of course. By design, movie posters are meant to be displayed, and, quite obviously, the best way is to have it properly framed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every now and then, clients send me photos of posters they have bought from me in their custom made frames. I absolutely LOVE to see my posters in their new home, so please keep these photos coming!
A few weeks ago, I received two messages, both frames were \u201astate of the art\u2018 in my book, so I asked the senders for their permission to publish them in this blog.

Here\u2018s the first one: SUNSET BOULEVARD original release German double-panel (1950), app. 33×46 in, folded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we see here: An elegant black wood frame, double-matted, with a thin red line in the outer matting and museum style glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I like about this frame: The black border perfectly mirrors the dark mood of this Film Noir masterpiece, while the thin red border line picks up the red color from the film strip. This is clearly a \u201acost no object\u2018 frame, it perfectly matches the poster and appears to be extremely well made. The final result is absolutely stunning. I love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
