FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in ancient Chinese history, showcasing the intricate process of silk manufacture. The image showcases women diligently ironing a completed bolt of silk cloth, as depicted in the painted silk handscroll attributed to Emperor Hui Tsung from the Sung Dynasty. The attention to detail is remarkable, with each woman carefully tending to their task. Their elegant hairstyles and attire reflect the fashion of the time, providing us with a glimpse into the lives of upper-class women during this period. The artwork itself is an homage to a Tang Dynasty artist from the 8th century, highlighting both artistic influence and continuity across centuries. It serves as a testament to China's rich cultural heritage and its mastery in fabric production. Silk was highly prized during this era for its luxurious texture and vibrant colors. This particular scene depicts not only skilled workers but also emphasizes their role as makers of fine art. The scroll's composition draws our attention to every aspect: from the heater used for ironing to the delicate scarves held by these talented women. As we admire this piece, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand how craftsmanship and creativity were interwoven into everyday life. It reminds us that even centuries ago, dedication and skill were valued attributes essential for producing such exquisite textiles that continue to captivate audiences today.
