Artifacts

Overview

1220’s in-house Artifact Mount Designer and Fabricator specializes in creating custom mount and bracket designs tailored to each project. After consulting with the curator or conservator to fully understand the specific requirements of each artifact, detailed sketches are produced, including material recommendations for each mount. The primary objective is to design a mount that ensures the safety and conservation of the artifact while maintaining a low profile to keep the focus on the artifact itself.
