We recently had a customer come in looking to frame a sword and shield that she had bought on a trip in Bhutan. Her son's a fencer and she wanted to put together something to display them for him.
The final job we put together included two mouldings stacked and a filet glued to the front. We used a Bainbridge silk mat for the back and sides. The sword and shield were attached using wire passed through a mdf baseboard at the back for stability. Oh, and we used museum glass.

Here is an image showing the overall design:

Nice what color is the silk...looks almost lime on my monitor.
 
Just terrific. Makes me look like a hack framer.

Congrats on a really good design, and a similar execution.
