Custom mounting for art and collectibles
Jacob Norden's workshop in Waterloo, 15 minutes from Brussels — over 30 years of experience
A well-mounted object changes status: a ceremonial weapon, a rock fragment, an old axe or a wooden Christ become display pieces. A mount also protects: the object stands securely, no longer touches the furniture and is far less likely to fall.
Every mount is designed for one specific object. We measure it, study its centre of gravity and contact points, then choose the material and finish — wood, metal, stone or acrylic — that will show it off without overpowering it.
What we mount
- Sculptures, busts and archaeological fragments
- Ceremonial weapons, axes and antique tools
- Minerals, fossils and decorative rocks
- Ethnographic objects and masks
- Crucifixes and religious sculpture
- Fragile or unstable collectibles
An invisible mount that serves the object
A good mount goes unnoticed. Contact points are shaped to the object and padded so they never damage it, and the object stays removable: nothing is drilled into or glued onto the original. You choose the finish to suit your interior or display case.
