Rare samurai movie poster from Japan
Unfortunately my experience was not as stellar as the other reviewer. I took a six foot by four foot (expensive too) 40 year old samurai move poster in to be framed. Their "expert" recommended an archive type of mounting that uses no glue. Well $800.00 dollars later I received a framed picture that quickly started to sag and droop and the frame distorted and the plexi-glass popped out at the top. This was the second plexi-glass as the first was cracked and chipped when I first picked the poster up.
Now I've taken it to another framer only to find out that Art Wave used a double sided sticky tape to secure some of it and it can't be removed without damaging the poster and the tape will be obvious in the new mounting. They also tore the poster and repaired it in the back with scotch tape, so much for archiving.
To top it off, I had taken a similar poster there before I knew all the poor workmanship and another "expert" advised against the type of framing they had done on the first poster.
Unbelievable!
Since then I have used a couple of other places in Burbank. They were both less expensive and did a much better job.
