How to preserve a piece of art

I bought an unbelievably beautiful pillow hand embroidered with a scene of birds and people. It looks like the base is a strong cotton blend. I don't think it's very old, perhaps 10 - 15 years? I'm sure I'll spill coffee on it or the dogs will get to it if I keep using it as a pillow. What are some tried and true conservation methods of presenting it that will help ensure longevity? A special frame? Boxes? Acid papers? Any help would be appreciated!

I'm willing to disassemble it and have it be a framed piece of art instead of a pillow...
