Q. Is it better to arrange framing through this website, or buy unframed and take to a local gallery?
A. This will depend on your personal circumstances. Unframed prints are sent carefully rolled inside a transportation tube and fully insured. The print will be delivered by a carrier, who will require a signature in order to to complete delivery.

The careful choice of frame and mount can transform a picture, giving it either a traditional or contemporary look, according to your personal taste. Style, size, colour and surroundings all need to be considered in order for you to get the most pleasure from this beautiful painting.

Framed pictures are fragile and require specialist transportation, which is often expensive and not without risk, though naturally all pictures will be insured during transportation.
