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
1. Title: "Csik Rugs: A 20th Century Tradition in Ethnographic Museum, Budapest, Hungary" This evocative image showcases a collection of vibrant and intricately woven rugs from the Csik region of Romania, displayed in the Ethnographic Museum in Budapest, Hungary. The 20th century rugs, with their bold geometric motifs and rich colors, illuminate the room, adding a sense of warmth and texture to the wooden parquet floor. The cooperative economic system that emerged in the early 20th century played a significant role in the production of these rugs. Women from the Csik region, who had long been skilled in the art of rug making, came together to form cooperatives and create a sustainable industry. The use of traditional techniques, such as the kilim weaving method, ensured that the rugs maintained their unique character and cultural significance. The rugs' contemporary style, with its abstract and geometric forms, reflects the changing aesthetic trends of the 20th century. Yet, they remain rooted in the rich ethnographic traditions of the Csik region and the broader European context. The figure of a woman, perhaps a weaver, in the background adds a human touch to the scene, emphasizing the skill and craftsmanship that went into each rug. The rugs' age and the economic importance they held in their communities are evident in the worn and faded areas, which only add to their charm and character. The Ethnographic Museum in Budapest serves as a vital repository for these cultural treasures, preserving and illuminating the history and traditions of the Csik region and the broader European textile industry.
