We're proud to announce that the first of our movie poster display cases is now available.
Last year, my cousin Roger and I set out to create a collector's framing solution that combined handmade aesthetic appeal, attention to the proper care of collectible posters, ease of use, and appreciation for the history of the movies and movie art. With the help of fellow collectors and dealers, we researched real period poster display cases - focusing on the relatively free-standing vesions which sometimes appear for sale on the collectibles market, usually in need of refinishing and refurbishment, and only rarely suitable for the proper display and preservation of collectible posters. Instead of attempting to replicate these display cases in detail, we adjusted their designs - since we take it as a given that, though many of our friends and customers would like the option to change out their displayed holdings periodically or on a whim, or just like the look of a cinema display case, none of them cared to imitate the typical mom & pop movie theater's treatment of this week's 1-sheet by gluing or stapling it over last week's... We could say more, but the little gallery I've put together at http://ckmac.com/images/special/case/ should be self-explanatory (click on thumbnails for larger images, of course). We're still assessing demand and interest, taking suggestions and feedback for future versions, and accepting offers on this "prototype." Our next 1-sheet-sized case should be done soon, to be followed in time by an insert and a half-sheet version, but we're willing to consider custom jobs as well. Please feel free to contact me directly with inquiries and suggestions. Best to all - and thanks to everyone who sent us images or shared their experience and advice!
