First Frames Mahogany Pair Propeller Trench Made
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Aviation History Preserved: A Pair of First World War Mahogany Photo Frames Crafted from an Aeroplane Propeller" 2.. This evocative pair of First World War mahogany photo frames tells a captivating tale of history and craftsmanship. Each frame, meticulously crafted from genuine propeller wood sourced from an aeroplane used during the Great War, serves as a poignant reminder of the aviation milestones and sacrifices made during the 1914-1918 conflict. The First World War marked a turning point in the history of aviation, with pioneering pilots and engineers pushing the boundaries of flight technology to gain a strategic advantage on the battlefield. These mahogany photo frames, fashioned from an actual propeller, are a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the soldiers who created trench art during this period. Trench art refers to the decorative items produced by soldiers during wartime, often using materials readily available to them. The use of propeller wood for these frames represents the close connection between the military and the burgeoning aviation industry during WWI. As you gaze upon these frames, imagine the stories they could tell. Perhaps they once held cherished photographs of brave pilots and their aircraft, or served as a keepsake for a soldier longing for home. The intricate grain patterns in the wood, reminiscent of the intricate designs on the wings of early aircraft, add to their historical significance and allure. These First World War mahogany photo frames, made from an aeroplane propeller, are not only beautiful works of art but also a fascinating piece of history. They serve as a reminder of the indelible mark that aviation left on the world during the Great War and the enduring legacy of the soldiers who created trench art.
