Fine Art Giclée Print

Printed using the Giclée process, the standard used by galleries and museums for fine art reproduction. Each print is produced individually to order.

Paper: Enhanced Matte Art paper. A heavyweight 200gsm stock with a smooth, natural white finish. The matte surface removes glare and holds detail well across both highlights and shadow.

Inks: Pigment-based archival inks, chosen for their colour depth and long-term stability when displayed indoors.

Frame: Solid wood frame with a satin-laminated finish.

Stretched Canvas Print

Printed onto 400gsm artist-grade cotton canvas, a finely woven substrate that holds fine detail and tonal depth well, giving prints a tactile, gallery-style finish. Rated for over 200 years of display permanence indoors.

Canvas: Hand-stretched over a 38mm frame built from European kiln-dried, knotless pine. The stretcher bars are finger-jointed for strength, with corner wedges added on larger formats to keep the canvas taut over time.

Inks: Printed using latex and UVgel inks, for a durable, fade-resistant finish.

Hanging: Canvas prints don't come with hanging hardware. They're designed to sit flush against the wall on a single nail or screw, so no fixings are needed or included.

Framed Prints — Ready to Hang

Your framed print arrives ready to display, with hanging hardware pre-fitted to the frame (a sawtooth hanger or cobra hook, depending on size). Simply hang using a single nail or screw.

If you'd prefer a renter-friendly option, Command Strips fixed along the edge of the frame work well too. As a rough guide, use around 4 per frame for A3, and 6 per frame for A2 and larger.

Canvas — Sits Flush, No Hardware Needed

Our canvas prints are stretched over a solid wooden frame and designed to sit flush against the wall, so they don't come with hanging hardware, and they don't need it. A single nail or screw is enough for most sizes. For larger canvases, we'd suggest two fixings spaced across the width, for a level and secure hang.

Command Strips are also a good renter-friendly option for lighter canvases — just check the weight rating before use.

Caring for Your Print

Keep away from direct sunlight and reflected light (mirrors, glass) to preserve colour over time. Display at room temperature in a stable, moisture-free environment, away from direct heat sources such as radiators or fireplaces.

Vintage Match Box Design

Vintage matchboxes were a premier global canvas that defined the golden age of commercial ephemera in the early 1900s, alongside postage stamps and travel posters. Produced primarily using lithographic printing, the art world highly respects these early matchbox labels, both European and Japanese, for squeezing sophisticated graphic design onto a tiny canvas. Manufacturers on both continents were particularly known for bold, highly stylised typography and vibrant, limited-palette imagery designed to catch the consumer's eye, an aesthetic choice that high-art traditionalists initially dismissed as disposable trash until the intricate registration and bold colour blocks won recognition as masterpieces of functional art. The lasting impact of these matchboxes rests on how the labels documented changing political regimes, industrial progress, and popular culture, creating a vital visual archive that spans the Edwardian era in Britain, the Meiji era in Japan, and the shifting political landscapes of early Soviet Europe and Republican-era China. Beyond single-use packaging, vintage matchbox art from Europe and Asia alike revolutionised international marketing by creating portable billboards, setting a shared global standard for how miniature illustration could embed complex folklore and political messaging directly into the pockets of the masses.
