The canvas
Up to 24 × 36 in: synthetic fiber (polyester) canvas with a water-resistant coating, printed with archival-quality pigment inks and stretched over a 0.6 in (1.5 cm) pine frame. It comes with a hook and screws for hanging.
32 × 48 and 40 × 60 in: 360 gsm poly-cotton canvas, printed with archival-quality inks and stretched over 1.5 in (3.8 cm) deep solid wood bars.
Every size is printed to order and shipped from the USA.
The frame
Choose the vintage gold frame, made in the USA, or keep the canvas on its own. The gold frame comes in sizes up to 24 × 36 in; 32 × 48 and 40 × 60 in are canvas only.
The gold frame is a carved, antique-style moulding in gold-finished polystyrene, 0.8 in wide. With the frame, the size you choose is the outside size, and the frame covers 0.8 in of the picture on each side. The preview shows it at that width.
The gold frame adds $30 at 12 × 18 in, $40 at 16 × 24 in, $60 at 24 × 36 in.
Shipping & returns
Free shipping in the US. Every print is made to order: about 2 business days to print, then 3–5 business days to arrive. The 32 × 48 and 40 × 60 in canvases take 2–3 business days to make and 1–7 to arrive. We ship to the US only for now.
Made-to-order prints cannot be returned for a change of mind. If yours arrives damaged or defective, tell us within 30 days with a photo and we will send a free replacement. Full details
