Darwin Furniture Musical Instrument Piano
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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 showcases the exquisite grandeur of the Drawing Room at Down House in Kent. Stepping into this room feels like a journey back in time, where elegance and sophistication reign supreme. At the heart of this enchanting space stands a magnificent Broadwood grand piano, its polished ebony finish gleaming under the soft glow of natural light streaming through tall windows. With every key meticulously crafted, this musical instrument exudes an air of timeless beauty and craftsmanship. Its presence adds a touch of melodic charm to an already mesmerizing setting. One can only imagine the countless melodies that have echoed through these walls over the years, perhaps even inspiring Charles Darwin himself during his moments of contemplation. Surrounded by tastefully arranged furniture and intricate decor, this piano becomes more than just an instrument; it becomes a symbol of creativity and inspiration within Down House's historical narrative. As we gaze upon Nigel Corrie's expertly captured image, we are transported to a time when music filled these hallowed halls, inviting intellectual discussions and fostering artistic expression.
