This is an example of a custom framed citation. This citation is for the award of a bronze star medal. This Award of the Bronze Star Medal Citation was originally issued in 1945. The original citation show signs of wear and age because it is over seventy years old. This citation is a family heirloom, which was brought into us for framing. The bronze star metal citation states that the metal was earned for heroic action in combat against the Germans during World War II. We recognize the significance of this family heirloom, and we designed a custom frame that artistically complements the citation in a meaningful way, in order to preserve it for future generations to appreciate. The design for this Award of the Bronze Star Medal Citation uses double linen mats. It has a reverse bevel cut. An open V groove surrounding the citation reveals a black bottom mat that matches the color of the citation’s outer border. The frame selected is a rectangular all wood black frame. All of our custom framing utilizes conservation grade framing materials and techniques as explained on our pricing policy section at https://framedguidons.com/pricing-policy-framed-guidons/. There are a number of options available for framing military citations and awards. We can easily modify any of the designs you see on our website to suit your particular needs.
