January decluttering isn’t only about letting go.
Sometimes it’s about rediscovering what mattered enough to keep.
If something you found has been waiting patiently in a box, bring it in. We’ll help you turn it into something you can live with every day.

Framed a tiny piece of family history. 🤍
This little vintage baby dress spent years tucked away, and seeing it preserved like this is a reminder that some textiles belong on walls, not in boxes.
Soft fabric, tiny stitches, and so much love held in something so small.
Now it finally gets the spotlight it deserves. 🍼🌿

Our elves are hard at work this season, but have some fun ideas that will have your Christmas gifts all wrapped up by tree time!
Getting It Done over here at Handwright! This vintage kimono will be spending its retirement in a gold frame and will be tableside with family this Thanksgiving. Such a pleasure to work with. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Louis The 13th Style Frames: Where French Royalty met early Baroque flair.
This was France’s first national frame style, ultimately setting the stage for centuries of gilded grandeur: all of it starting with those iconic flower corners that bloom right off the wood. Understated compared to later Louis looks, but still rich with Medici-level drama (Louis the 13th`s mother was Maria de’ Medici, after all). Today, these frames bring depth, texture, and quiet elegance to both classical art and modern minimalism.

🔥 Saddle Towels don’t get more iconic than this. 🔥
Sierra Leone: Breeders’ Cup winner, Kentucky Derby runner-up, Eclipse Award Champion 3 year old colt of 2024, and king of the late charge, just added another legendary chapter to his story with a jaw-dropping win in the Grade 1 Whitney Stakes at Saratoga!
His trademark move? Hitting the afterburners mid-race and flying past the pack like they’re standing still. And this one… might be the most stunning come-from-behind victory we’ve ever seen.
🎥 If you missed it (trust us, you don’t want to): Watch race at link in our bio or paste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyePKVsapj8
This week, we had the honor of framing the saddle towel Sierra Leone wore in that race with dirt and all, for one of his owners. It’s more than fabric; it’s a piece of racing history. We’re still in awe of it… and of him.
Sierra Leone’s next start will be in the 2025 Breeders’ Cup at Del Mar.

Restoring and Framing Warhol’s Martha Graham Series
Handwright recently oversaw the restoration and completed the framing of three pieces from Andy Warhol’s Martha Graham series, a process that required a thoughtful approach to both the historical significance of the works and their delicate materials. Created in 1986 using silkscreen techniques on paper, these prints are susceptible to fading, discoloration, and surface damage over time. Restoration began with a thorough condition assessment, gentle surface cleaning and treatments to help stabilize the works while preserving their vivid color palette and original texture.
Framing the series called for museum-quality materials to ensure long-term preservation. Each print was mounted using archival, acid-free backing and is now housed in Optium Museum Plexi to shield against light damage. The frames themselves reflect a minimalist design that complement Warhol’s bold visual language without distraction.
When restored and properly framed, artworks regain their original vibrancy and are further protected for future generations. So much fun to work on these. Grateful for the trust our client put in us, and we trust these will give years and years of enjoyment.
