Medal Framing Services

At Greenhill Galleries, we provide specialist medal framing designed to honour and protect awards of service, achievement, and remembrance. We understand that medals often carry deep personal and historical significance, and our approach focuses on presenting them with the respect and care they deserve. With over 20 years of experience, our team ensures medals are beautifully displayed while remaining safe from damage and deterioration.

Our bespoke medal framing service is tailored to each individual set. We offer a wide choice of frames, mount boards, and glazing options, allowing for clear, balanced layouts that highlight medals, ribbons, and accompanying items such as photographs or citations where required. Each design is carefully considered to create a presentation that is both dignified and visually refined.

We work closely with you to select appropriate materials and fixing methods that securely support medals without causing stress or permanent alteration. Conservation-grade techniques are used to protect metal surfaces and fabrics from environmental damage over time. Whether framing a single medal or a full group, our professional approach ensures a lasting display that preserves both the condition and significance of these important items for generations to come.

For medals we have various techniques for preserving your precious memorabilia:

• On the ribbon: We use adhesive to secure the medals to the backing mountboard of your choice to prevent movement and ensure even spacing
• On the bar: We mount the medals using the attached pin through foamcore, onto a backing mountboard of your choice
• Deeper moulding: We can use a deeper moulding to help ensure your medals do not come in contact with the glass

We use only the highest quality materials and techniques to ensure your medal collection is well-protected. Our framing process includes:

• Acid-Free Mountboards and Backing: These materials prevent damage caused by acids and other harmful substances, ensuring your memorabilia remains in excellent condition.

• UV-Protective Glass: This specialised glass filters out harmful UV rays, significantly reducing the risk of fading and discolouration over time.
