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 a remarkable artifact from ancient Greece - the Gold larnax (funerary casket) dating back to 350-325 BC. Discovered in the Macedonian royal tombs at Vergina, Macedonia, Greece, this exquisite piece was found at the site of the ancient city of Aigai. Now housed in the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, it serves as a testament to the rich history and culture of this region. Crafted with meticulous detail and adorned with shimmering gold, this larnax is an epitome of elegance and craftsmanship.

It reminds us that even after centuries have passed, these artifacts continue to captivate our imagination and provide insights into civilizations long gone.
