31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
Grand Staircase, Holland House: A Glimpse into the Majestic Past". This print takes us back to the grandeur of Holland House in Kensington, London. The image showcases the magnificent Jacobean country house's iconic feature - its breathtaking Grand Staircase. Built in 1605 by architect John Thorpe for Sir Walter Cope, this architectural masterpiece stood as a symbol of opulence and elegance. Sadly, Holland House fell victim to German firebombing during the Blitz, leaving behind only ruins that are now classified as Grade I listed. However, through this photograph captured around 1876 and preserved in Edward Walford's book "Old and New London" we can still appreciate its former glory. The intricate details of the carved banisters and ornamental carpets on each step transport us to a time when this staircase welcomed esteemed guests with grace. As we gaze at this monochrome scene bathed in natural light from large windows nearby, it is easy to imagine ladies gracefully descending or ascending these steps while gentlemen awaited their arrival below. Holland House holds an important place in British history and architecture. This image serves as a reminder of the resilience of historical landmarks despite their eventual demise. It allows us to cherish our heritage while also lamenting what has been lost. Let this photograph be a portal into another era—a testament to human creativity and craftsmanship that once graced these hallowed halls.
