Print Quality & Materials

Our prints are produced using state-of-the-art giclée printing technology on premium 200 GSM matte paper. This museum-grade paper features a non-reflective surface that minimizes glare and showcases artwork with exceptional clarity. The archival-quality inks are fade-resistant and designed to maintain vibrant colors for decades when properly cared for.

Size Selection Guide

Choose from our range of sizes to perfectly fit your space. For walls above furniture (sofas, beds, consoles), we recommend prints that are approximately 2/3 to 3/4 the width of the furniture piece. Smaller sizes (4×6" to 11×14") work beautifully in gallery walls or intimate spaces, while larger formats (18×24" and above) create stunning focal points.

💡 Pro Tip: For best results, match size to wall width. Above sofa/bed, larger sizes (20×30" or bigger) create a premium, gallery-worthy look.

What printing technology do you use?

We use advanced giclée printing technology, which is the gold standard for fine art reproduction. This process uses archival pigment-based inks that are fade-resistant and provide exceptional color accuracy and detail reproduction.

With proper care (avoiding direct sunlight and humidity), our prints can last 100+ years without significant fading. The archival inks and museum-grade paper are specifically designed for longevity. Framing with UV-protective glass further extends the lifespan.

What sizes are available?

We offer a wide range of sizes from small (4×6") to extra large (A0/40×60"), with options in both standard (inches) and international (A-series) formats. Use the size selector on the product page to see all available options and pricing for each size.

Yes, we offer a 30-day return policy. If you're not satisfied with your print for any reason, you can return it in its original condition for a full refund (minus return shipping for non-defective items). Made-to-order items must be unused and undamaged.

What makes your prints "museum-grade"?

Museum-grade refers to archival-quality materials and professional printing standards used by art museums. This includes: 200 GSM acid-free paper, archival pigment-based inks resistant to fading for 100+ years, giclée printing technology for exceptional detail, and color-calibrated workflows matching original artworks.

Complete Care Guide for Your Art Print

Follow these professional guidelines to ensure your museum-grade print remains vibrant and beautiful for decades.

Unrolling & Handling

Carefully unroll your print on a clean, flat surface. Allow it to relax for 30-60 minutes if it arrived rolled. Always handle by the edges with clean, dry hands. Avoid touching the printed surface to prevent fingerprints or oils from transferring onto the paper.

Placement & Lighting

Place your print away from direct sunlight, heat sources (radiators, fireplaces), and high humidity areas (bathrooms, kitchens). UV rays are the primary cause of fading. North-facing walls receive less direct sun. Use LED lighting or incandescent bulbs rather than fluorescent lights, which emit UV rays.

Framing for Protection

Framing provides the best protection from dust, humidity, and handling. Use acid-free mat boards to prevent yellowing. Choose UV-protective glass or acrylic glazing to block 99% of harmful UV rays. Ensure the frame has proper backing to prevent moisture infiltration. Leave a small gap between the print and glazing for air circulation.

Cleaning & Maintenance

For framed prints, clean the glass with a streak-free glass cleaner and soft cloth. Never spray directly on the glass; spray the cloth instead. For unframed prints, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or artist's brush to gently remove dust. Never use water, solvents, or cleaning chemicals on the print surface.

Climate Control

Maintain stable temperature (65-75°F / 18-24°C) and moderate humidity (40-60% relative humidity). Extreme fluctuations can cause paper to expand, contract, or warp. Avoid storing prints in attics, basements, or garages where conditions vary dramatically. Use a dehumidifier in humid climates.

Storage Guidelines

If storing unframed prints, keep them flat in acid-free folders or portfolios. Interleave with acid-free tissue paper. Store in a cool, dry, dark place. Never fold prints. For long-term storage, use archival boxes designed for artwork. Check stored prints annually for signs of deterioration.

Hanging Best Practices

Hang prints at eye level (center at 57-60 inches from floor). Use appropriate hanging hardware based on frame weight: picture hooks for lightweight frames, wall anchors or studs for heavier pieces. Ensure the print is level using a spirit level. Keep away from doors that create drafts.

Inspection & Care Routine

Inspect your print every 3-6 months for signs of fading, foxing (brown spots), or environmental damage. Check that the frame backing is secure and moisture barriers intact. Rotate prints occasionally if you have multiple pieces to even out light exposure. Document the condition with photos for insurance purposes.

⚠️ What to Avoid

Never expose prints to direct sunlight for extended periods
Don't hang prints in bathrooms or above stoves where moisture and heat accumulate
Avoid using regular tape or adhesives directly on the print surface
Don't roll prints with the image facing inward (this can cause cracking)
Never apply liquids or cleaning products directly to unframed prints
Avoid extreme temperature changes and humidity fluctuations

🛡️ Professional Framing Tips

Consider professional framing for valuable pieces. Professional framers use:

Museum-quality mounting: Acid-free materials and reversible techniques
Conservation glazing: UV-filtering glass or acrylic (99% UV protection)
Proper matting: Acid-free, lignin-free mats in archival quality
Sealed backing: Moisture barriers and dust covers
Appropriate spacers: Prevent print contact with glazing

📊 Expected Lifespan

With proper care, your museum-grade print can last:

100+ years when framed with UV-protective glazing and displayed properly
50-75 years when framed with regular glass in indirect lighting
25-50 years when unframed but stored correctly in darkness
10-25 years when displayed unframed in normal room lighting

These estimates assume no direct sunlight exposure and stable environmental conditions. Proper framing dramatically extends longevity.

💡 Remember: Your print is created with archival materials designed to last generations. Taking these simple care steps ensures it remains a cherished piece of art for you and future generations to enjoy.

A Masterpiece of 19th-Century Portraiture

Immerse yourself in the captivating gaze of Joséphine Gaujelin, immortalized by the renowned French artist, Edgar Degas, in 1867. This powerful portrait captures the subject in striking contrast—her dark, high-necked attire set against a warm, ochre background, with vivid crimson fabric providing a dramatic flourish. Degas, known for his ability to merge classical realism with the emerging spontaneity of Impressionism, presents Gaujelin with an intense, unsmiling demeanor that draws the viewer into her world.

The Intensity of Degas’s Realism

Unlike many of his contemporaries who focused solely on bright, fleeting moments, this piece showcases Degas’s mastery of sober composition and psychological depth. The subtle details, from the delicate gold accents in her hair to the careful rendering of her folded hands, reflect the high skill of the Impressionist master. Whether displayed in a modern living room, a vintage office, or a gallery wall setup, this classic reproduction brings historical weight and profound artistic beauty to your home decor. It is an essential piece for collectors and admirers of European painting and the late 19th-century Parisian art scene.
