Highly experienced in creating bespoke display cases and cabinets to protect valuable artwork and artefacts, we can manufacture display cases in a variety of sizes and thickness to your specifications.
Whether it’s a sleeve cover for a limited edition book, or a life-sized mannequin for an ancient Egyptian jewellery display, we’re here to help and advise.
We make vitrines, formaldehyde tanks, plinths, cases and covers and have even made a wall mounted case for an ancient carpet and a jacket made of thistledown.
Our acrylic display cases have been used in museums across the UK including the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology, America Museum of Bath, Cheltenham Museum, London Transport Museum, Worcester City Museum, the Design Museum and more.
There are good reasons why Acrylic/Perspex®/Plexiglas® is chosen for protecting, covering and displaying artwork. Along with enhancing safety by being lightweight and shatter resistant, it also has excellent UV filtering properties, making it ideal for protecting artwork from fading.
While standard acrylic is very good at filtering out harmful UV rays which can even come from some interior lights, Perspex developed a superior grade for the Victorian & Albert Museum called VA grade, which we use extensively. TruVue have taken that performance a significant stage further with their Optium range. This has the exceptional and unique qualities of combining optimum UV filtering, with a non glare, anti static finish with a scratch resistant coating.
There are many artists whose work we've provided covers for, but three that we can mention are Bridget Riley, Van Gogh, and Aimee Lax.
As well as working for independent artists and framers, our work can be found at the Tate Modern.
Below are some examples of completed Perspex display cases and plastic art covers that we're fabricated.
