Materials

Built like gallery pieces, not merch.

Every frame is cut from solid-wood Italian moulding and finished by hand in our Riga workshop. Here's exactly what goes into a piece — the same specs your customers will ask about.

Italian moulding, three woods

Solid wood from Italian moulding houses — no MDF, no foil wraps. Profiles are mitred, glued & pinned, and sealed in Riga.

Oak

Finishes: Natural, black

Tight, even grain that takes a stain beautifully — the workhorse of gallery framing.

Ash

Finishes: Natural

Pale and open-grained, for pieces that want a light, Scandinavian look.

Walnut

Finishes: Natural, black

Deep chocolate tones and fine grain — the premium choice for dark, warm interiors.

Glazing: the difference you can't unsee

Glazing is where a framed print becomes a gallery piece — or doesn't. Compare the two options side by side.

Acrylic glazing Standard Museum glass Premium — Paid tier
Reflectance Around 8% — visible glare under gallery lighting Under 1% — the glass all but disappears
UV protection Filters some UV Blocks up to 99% of UV — conservation-grade fade protection
Weight & safety Half the weight of glass and shatter-resistant — ideal for large pieces Real glass, precision-cut to the frame
Best for Big formats, busy households, economical shipping Collector pieces and anything hung in direct light
Side-by-side: the same print under museum glass vs regular glazing, shot to show the glare difference

Photography in production

Papers, inks & canvas

Giclée pigment inks

Pigment (not dye) inks rated for decades of indoor display without visible fading.

Archival fine-art papers

Acid-free stocks from 200 to 310 gsm, matte and textured surfaces.

Canvas

Poly-cotton blend, stretched by hand over kiln-dried bars — or shipped rolled for local stretching.

Mats that age as well as the art

Acid-free museum board

Conservation-grade board that never yellows or burns the print edge.

Bevel cut

A crisp 45° window cut on every mat — the detail that reads "framer", not "factory".

Widths & colours

White and off-white as standard; mat width is yours to set in the configurator (the 8 cm mat is a gallery favourite).

Macro: mat bevel edge over a print corner

Materials questions, answered

What's the difference between museum glass and acrylic glazing?
Acrylic glazing is light and shatter-resistant — a good standard choice, especially for large pieces. Museum glass is conservation-grade art glass: under 1% reflectance so it all but disappears, and up to 99% UV protection against fading. Museum glass is part of the premium catalog on the Paid tier.
What moulding are the frames made from?
Solid-wood Italian moulding — oak, ash, and walnut profiles — cut, joined, and finished by hand in our Riga workshop. No MDF, no foil wraps.
Are the prints archival?
Yes. We print giclée with pigment inks on acid-free fine-art papers (200–310 gsm), and mats are acid-free museum board, so the piece won't yellow or fade in normal indoor display.
Can I offer custom frame sizes?
On the Paid tier, yes — you set any dimensions within production limits in the configurator, alongside the standard size range.
