Scarves anyone frame their silk scarves? if so how do you do it?

Wow!
You have a wonderful collections. I do have quite a few scarves that are not being worn. Your posting is encouraging me to do the same. I purchased them for the art and details; it’s a great idea to have them displayed so I can always enjoy them rather than have it laying in boxes. These professional framers, is there a name and how do I find them?

Thank you! And that sounds like a wonderful idea! I'm in Canada and I use a company called Framing Art Centre, although I'm sure any professional framer near you would be able to do a beautiful job.

I had this Bolduc scarf professionally framed using TruVue Museum Glass. When standing in front of it, it looks like there's nothing there, like you could reach your hand out and touch the scarf. Museum Glass is a bit pricey but it makes such a big difference in the final result.

I had the "Canada 150 scarf" Into the Canadian Wild by Alice Shirley framed. I went to a local framer in my neighbourhood. He put a few stitches in each corner to ensure the scarf would not sag.

I also had Balles de Golfe framed by the same framer. Because... golf. And my last name starts with H.

I reached out to an artist friend and he referred me to his framer. I hope he works on silk too.
I look forward to getting at least the Clair de Lune framed first. The embroidered silver glass microbeads glowing under lights look amazing. It would be nice to have it visibly on displayed at all times.
Thank you for your post and thank you for helping!

My pleasure! That will be absolutely stunning! Please do share photos once you've had yours framed

It’s stunning! I was also thinking of getting such a gorgeous scarf but I also wonder about the beading.
Could you please share how you would frame it? I have been wanted to do this too but I am not sure. Hopefully it’s not off topic. You can always message me! Thanks!

thanks @stephbb9!

i’m also very new to scarf displays!
absolutely will not trust myself with a DIY job lest i ruin the scarf
i recently sent a couple of my scarves to my local frameshop for pinmounting - according to them this ensures the scarves can still be removed in their original forms should i choose to un-frame them and wear them in the future.
will see how they turn out before deciding if i’ll send this embroidered one over to them.

my SA reminded me again today to always clarify and be sure that the frame-maker does not use glue to mount the scarf due to the irreversible damage it can cause.

Here’s a more detailed picture View attachment 5289364

It’s not behind glass- I used small pieces of double sided removable fabric tape to attach to canvas - ultimately planning to move it to a different frame/location when we move so I just did it myself; I think it will look better if you get it professionally done!

I LOVE this floating concept. Thank you for the inspiration!

Paying it back to the forum for all of your wonderful framing inspiration. I’m so glad I’m finally able to hang these up - loving the pops of color and art these bring to my place!

Slightly different type of ‘ in action ‘. Especially proud because I framed them myself View attachment 5640812View attachment 5640813View attachment 5640814

Would you mind sharing how you framed them yourself? TIA!

Where did you order the frames? So hard to find a square frame

Thank you so much ! Glad you’re a fan of UGO’s Grand Prix - love storytelling scarves !
My frame takes 30 seconds to change scarves so it is wa ko ni today !

this is one of my favorite designs of all time, but the only colorway I've been able to find is the rather lackluster grey/ sky blue one. What I would give to have a bright color like yours to put on my wall. .
