How To Frame Stamps In A Sort Of Album To Hang On The Wall

Hello everybody, this is my first post
I have few stamps I would like to frame. I know from previous discussions that it's not a good idea to frame them in glass, even in the best anti UV ray glass, because colors eventually will fade
I am thinking to buy some kind of foldable album page, so that one could open it, watch the stamps and close it again
Do you think it's possible to do this?
Thanks

You could create a three-part frame, with two half-sections of wood hinged at the side of the picture, enabling you to close them. Not unknown in the world of art. Or a small curtain across a standard frame.

Scan the pages and then use a digital picture frame to hang on wall.

My question to you is how valuable are the stamps? I have a couple of sheets that I have framed of attractive common stamps. I really am using them as art since they are not expensive (bought at face for less than $10 and still readily available for less than $20). If they are expensive stamps, then I would go Don's route and use a digital picture frame. If they are inexpensive stamps, I would probably buy 2 sets and frame one.

I like Geoffha's triptych frame idea, but it sounds a little labor intensive.

You may find something on a "triptych frame" web search.

with Don. It appears to be the best approach for better quality stamps, and if you want to post several different images.

Otherwise for me the cheaper stamps would end up stuck behind glass on a mat in wooden or plastic frame. If I got tired of them I could always change them and use the faded ones for postage on a parcel.

I've thought a few times of finding an older, fancy album page, mounting stamps on it, and having a good frame shop frame it. The album page is important to me since I'd want it to look like an album and not just stamps on a random background. It should look like a classic old album.

I wouldn't ever do this with valuable stamps, though, as the light-- especially direct sunlight--would likely ruin the stamps after awhile. With common stamps, I wouldn't worry much.

For me, the appeal would be real stamps on a real album page, not an imitation of some kind. A full album page of old stamps framed really well would be pretty impressive, something to look at and feel good about, and we can all use that.

If the stamps are inexpensive and they fade through light exposure then not really a big deal.

If expensive stamps are being used, light minimisation is then critical.

The various responses here remind me of the time I visited the offices of an old time stamp dealer, Richard Ellis, in New York City. He had a series of offices on a high floor in a mid-town office building. Each room was piled high with stamps and stamp merchandise in a seemingly un-organized accumulation. On many of the walls he had framed the Farley special printings in full sheets - 20 souvenir sheets per sheet, etc. It was very impressive.

Don has the right idea. Display scanned images of your stamps. If you want to get carried away, you can enlarge the images and even create works of art to display.

In this example, the stamps are enlarged and the print was printed on standard 13 x 19 inch archival quality paper for display behind glass.

I created this print several years ago and Dad made several of these octagonal-top frames for me.
