Framing

For the finishing touch, use our framing tool as you shop to see how your selection will look framed ready to hang on your wall.

If you’d like our opinion, check out ‘our pick’ as you shop, where you’ll see our recommendation.

Everything is framed by our trusted partner For Arts Sake, experts in handcrafted bespoke framing since 1978.

Take a look at our framing styles below to learn more.

 

Boxed:  A perfect clean framing choice. The print is framed flush with the edge of the frame, with glass raised above the print creating a box effect. We find this works nicely for prints with white borders and clean edges.

Boxed raised float: A popular choice; it looks great with prints that have a torn effect around the edges. It works in the same way as our boxed option, except we lay the print on mount board and raise it on foam board to give the impression of floating.               

(Note: Standard visible border size is 3cm, but will vary depending on the print, and could be between 2-4 cm to suit the artwork).

Window mount: For prints signed and editioned in the border, this is a great option. A mount border is made to fit around the artist signature, title, and edition number.  The glass sits on top of the mount.

(Note: the Standard visible mount size is 7cm, but will vary to suit the artwork between 5-8cm).

Tray frame: For original canvases only, the canvas sits within a deep frame. No glass.

  • In order to protect the artwork, all the materials we use are acid free and PH neutral. 

 

  • The window and float mounts are white/off white as standard, the level will be carefully picked by one of our expert framing consultants to tone with the artwork paper.

 

  • To make sure your order gets to you safely, we use acrylic rather than glass. The acrylic is 99% UV protected to preserve your artwork.
