How to Frame Your Paintings? Professional Methods for Framing of Artworks.
We offer a great variety of frames, which can suit every interior style. In terms of material, our frames are wooden, plastic or metal, and are made by the best Italian factories, keeping with the newest style trends and designs. We frame paintings of maximum length up to 71 cm or 28 inches. Due to this, the option for framing appears only in the paintings from our catalogue, which fall within this format. This is necessary because of the extreme rises in the cost of postal services for larger formats and the risk of damage during transportation.
If your Art Print matches the format, you can choose from the huge variety of frames, passepartout and mats we offer, the latter not being a necessity, rather its inclusion depends on your taste and interior style. The passepartout or mat is a very useful element for the design. It is placed between the painting and external frame, and being lighter in colour, it gives a characteristic finish. The mat also helps with the so called breathing of the painting, i.e. it enables the painting to merge with the frame. External a frame, passepartout/mat for a certain picture is extremely easy: simply follow the steps when the option for framing appears.
Once you have ordered a framed Art Reproduction, it is stretched over a stretcher bar and thereafter varnished with a special UV varnish. The external frame, which you have chosen for your Art Reproduction, is mounted over the canvas, stretched on the stretcher bar, and a hanging system is placed on the back of the frame. When you receive the frame, the painting will be completely ready for hanging on the wall.
