I have a lovely piece of Brugge's lace, brought back by my stepmother from Brugge(A place called Lace Symphony-Wollestraat). It was already framed, and very well at that. The backing is a very solid piece of wood, and is very tightly on there, with a glass frame. I do believe it was framed to last. It's hung on my hallway for 3 or 4 years now, and there is no discolouration at all, even in our northern climate.
BTW, it's a beautiful picture of a horse and carriage, with flowers surrounding it, and a rolled banner underneath with Brugge written on it. It's very inspirational, though I doubt I could ever do anything close to it! Hope this helps.
