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 exquisite work of art showcases the water lily, Nelumbo lutea, rendered in intricate cross-stitch tapestry and relief mold patterns. The image is based on a lithograph by the renowned Swiss artist Eugene Grasset, titled 'Plants and their Application to Ornament.' Grasset, born in 1841, was a pioneering figure in the art nouveau movement at the end of the 19th century. His innovative designs were known for their organic forms and sinuous lines, which were inspired by nature and infused with a sense of fluidity and movement. The lithograph itself was created using a pochoir (stencil) technique, which involved hand-coloring each print with precise stencils to achieve vibrant and detailed results. The water lily, with its large, circular leaves and delicate white flowers, was a popular subject for Grasset, who appreciated its elegant form and the way it reflected the natural world around him. In this particular rendition, the water lily is depicted in fabric, with each petal and leaf meticulously stitched by hand. The relief mold patterns add an additional layer of texture and depth, bringing the image to life and creating a tactile connection between the viewer and the artwork. The overall effect is one of beauty, intricacy, and timelessness, making this a true masterpiece of art nouveau design and a testament to the enduring appeal of nature's most exquisite forms.
