Hi All

Sorry, but not sure where else to ask this

I'm looking for picture frames, suitable for mounting memorabilia?

Guess it need to be around 20mm (nearly an inch in old money) deep, various sizes.

I have had a look on-line but they seem to cost an arm and a leg so recommendations would be appreciated please?

Cheers all

Paul, shop around. Try the charity shops, you will be able to see the exact size and depth you want. I have had some brilliant frames from these, trouble is, usually the pictures in them ar e too good to discard.
Good Luck

If in doubt find a hardware shop which may make them to your specifications.
We have a couple of shops that do them. you can take in anything to be framed.
Just look around.
Good luck.

Some of the ribba frames seem to be extra deep.

Try your nearest large market. There is usually someone selling all sorts of frames, and can get you what you want.
