How do you frame your prints?
Our prints come in a choice of quality wooden frames that have been hand-picked to display and elevate your artwork.
Giclée, Open Edition & Deluxe prints are available in wooden box frames with a choice of a black stain, a white stain, or an oak finish.
For our Rare & Limited prints, we offer bespoke, luxury wooden frames, that have been chosen by our expert craftsmen to showcase your artwork to their full potential.
Mounting: We use a float mounting technique, set in quality wooden box frames. The artwork is raised above the mount to create a contemporary floating effect. This modern method, often seen in galleries, is an excellent way to make the print pop.
Do you use glass or acrylic for your framed art?
We use UV acrylic for all of our framed art. Though a slightly more expensive option than glass, acrylic has many benefits that make it the better choice for your art. It is superior in preserving and protecting prints from light damage - both the sun and the average lightbulb will gradually damage unprotected art. Acrylic is also safer to transport and to hang than glass.
Choosing Art
How do I find the art I like?
Choosing art can be difficult! If you know what you want then you can take advantage of our search bar, this should help you find the artwork you want instantly.

How to care for your art
How do I hang my art?
After receiving your latest artwork you will want to make sure that it looks its very best on display. We have put together a quick guide on how to hang your framed prints.
Once you know where you want to hang your art you need to know how to, and hanging art is an art in itself! But don’t worry we’ve put together a simple guide - just follow our steps below.
First, turn over your framed art and measure the distance between the top of the frame and the picture hanger.
Place your frame where you want it displayed and mark where the top corners are.
Next use a ruler to mark the point in the middle of the two corner points.
Using your measurement you made at the beginning - from the top of the frame and the hanger - mark this point on the wall using the point in the centre point of the two corner marks. This is where you will need to drill.
Do you have a masonry or stud wall? Knock on the wall and listen to the sound it makes - a hollow sound is indicative of a stud wall and solid sound would suggest it is a masonry wall.
Masonry wall: Drill a hole in the point you marked, insert a wall plug and screw in a double headed screw.
Stud Wall: No need for a drill if you have a stud wall. Using the point you marked and screw a double headed screw directly into the wall.
Always use appropriate precautions and safety gear.
And you’re set - you artwork is ready to be placed onto the wall and admired!
How do I clean framed art?
You can keep your artwork looking its best by occasionally cleaning the frame it is displayed in. First, carefully remove the framed art from the wall and place it on a stable and flat surface. To clean the acrylic surface, spray water or a mild acrylic cleaner on to a soft, lint-free cloth and gently wipe over the surface and dry with another clean lint-free cloth. The frame should be lightly cleaned or dusted with a soft, dry cloth or brush.
Never spray any cleaning products directly onto the frame or glass as this may seep under the glass and onto the artwork.
Where is the best place to hang my art?
Once you receive your art we are sure you will want to have it displayed on the wall straight away. However, when considering the best place to hang your prints, keep the below points in mind.
To avoid any condensation and heat damage to your art, avoid hanging it close to a heat source such as heating vents, radiators and boilers.
Ideally your artwork should not be displayed in or very close to a bathroom or in the path of direct sunlight.
In a house with young children running around, we suggest you consider hanging the art at a height that will avoid any injuries from the frame corners - or any little hands damaging the art!
By following the above tips you are ensuring each framed piece will last for years to come.
