framing medals and awards
Přísečná near Český Krumlov · 25 min from Č. Budějovice · Free consultation
what's involved
Behind every medal there are hours of training, a moment of courage, or a whole life story — and that belongs on the wall, not in a drawer. We frame medals, awards, commemorative coins and trophies in deep shadow boxes, where they get room to breathe and the safety of glass. We mount them without glue, on an elegant velvet backing, and add photos or race numbers. Third generation of framers, 30 years at the same bench.
what you get
A memory on display, not a dusty drawer
A shadow box gives medals space and depth. They hang on the wall like a picture — you see them every day, not once a year.
Secure mounting, no glue
We fix medals on invisible holders, stitched through ribbons, or on special clips. Never glued to the surface — they can always be safely removed.
A backing that lifts their value
Velvet, linen or cotton backing in a colour you choose. The shine of the metal stands out exactly as it deserves.
A layout built around your story
Several medals in one frame — chronologically or by theme. We add photos, ribbons, certificates. Even 30+ medals are no problem.
A whole collection together
Marathon runners, triathletes, cyclists — we'll frame an entire medal collection as one striking piece.
Decorations with conservation care
Military and fire-service badges, patches and orders — archival acid-free materials for long-term protection, so they won't start to oxidise.
how it works
Bring the medals and any extras — photos, numbers, ribbons. Together we'll sketch out the layout.
We choose the shadow box depth, the backing fabric and the frame. You see it all in advance.
We mount the medals securely and fit them into the frame in our Přísečná workshop.
We hand over the finished shadow box with a hanging system, or deliver and hang it for you.
25 min from Budějovice
In Přísečná you'll find a choice of 1,000+ Larson-Juhl profiles, museum-grade standards and a personal, unhurried approach. The consultation is free.
questions and answers
How many medals fit in one frame?
It depends on the size of the medals and the frame. Usually 5–15, but we design to measure — even 30+ is possible. We're happy to advise on a layout where each one stands out.
How do you mount medals so nothing gets damaged?
On invisible holders, stitched through ribbons, or on special clips. We never glue directly to the medal — it can always be removed safely, without a trace.
Can I add race numbers and photos too?
Absolutely. Race numbers, certificates, finish-line photos — we'll build a complete memory, not just displayed metal.
How much does framing medals cost?
We give you the price upfront and with no obligation — it's based on the number of medals, the size and the complexity of the layout. We'll prepare a quote at an in-person consultation.
