With or without a frame: how to choose.

Every piece is printed on canvas and stretched by hand over a wooden frame. There is no glass in front, so nothing reflects and the colours stay warm and deep, like a painting. The only choice you make is whether it gets a frame.

Canvas without a frame is clean and modern. The canvas wraps around the sides, so the piece stands off the wall like a painting. It suits large walls, calm rooms and work with plenty of sky and space.

The image usually tells you whether it wants a frame.

Canvas in a frame sits in a wooden floating frame, in black or natural, with a narrow shadow gap all round. It finishes the piece and gives it weight, like a painting in a museum. It suits portraits, dark old masters and a wall with several pieces. The hanging hardware is already fitted.

Still unsure? The sizes & framing guide goes deeper, or ask the studio.
