Frequently Asked

Enquiries

What exactly arrives?

An archival pigment print on 310gsm cotton rag, hand-numbered in the lower margin, with a 40mm border retained on all four edges, together with a cotton-rag Certificate of Authenticity. If a framed finish was selected, the work arrives framed in blackened oak behind UV-filtering acrylic, ready to hang.

Is the edition genuinely limited?

Fifty impressions per scale. Each is numbered and recorded. Once an edition is complete it is retired permanently — the file is not reprinted at that scale in any finish.

Which scale suits my wall?

Most rooms take the Gallery scale correctly. Cabinet suits close viewing and grouped hangs; Atelier is an anchor work for a principal wall. Full guidance is set out under Size & Placement, and the advisory service will make a specific recommendation against a photograph of your wall.

Can I frame the work myself?

Yes. Unframed impressions are supplied with a 40mm border expressly so a framer can float-mount the sheet without trimming it. Ask your framer for UV-filtering glazing and acid-free mounting materials throughout.

How long does production take?

Unframed, 5–7 working days. Framed, 15–20 working days, as the frame is made specifically for the piece.

Will the colours shift over time?

Not perceptibly within a normal lifetime of display. Pigment inks on cotton rag are rated in excess of a century under museum conditions. Keep the work out of direct sunlight regardless of glazing.

Are duties included?

Delivery and insurance are complimentary on framed works. Import duties and local taxes outside the EU are payable by the recipient on arrival.

May I commission a portrait?

A small number of private commissions are accepted each year. Write to the atelier with a note on the subject and the intended room.
