17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 showcases three exquisite cloths that were used for a ceremonial tea set during the late Edo period in Japan, spanning from 1789 to 1868, and continuing into the Meiji period from 1868 to 1912. The cloths are believed to have been created between the years 1800 and 1900, making them true treasures of both the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Displayed at the renowned Art Institute of Chicago, this artwork embodies the rich heritage of Japanese art and craftsmanship. Each cloth is meticulously designed with vibrant colors such as purple and red, symbolizing auspiciousness and prosperity within traditional Japanese culture. These textiles hold great significance in their association with tea ceremonies - an integral part of Japanese tradition. Opening one's mouth to taste tea was considered a sacred act during these rituals, emphasizing mindfulness and appreciation for nature's beauty. While the artist behind these remarkable pieces remains unknown, their skillful execution speaks volumes about their mastery over fabric manipulation techniques. The intricate patterns woven into each cloth reflect typical motifs found in Japanese textile design. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are transported back in time to experience a glimpse of Japan's past. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend boundaries by preserving cultural traditions through visual storytelling.
