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
This print takes us back to the bustling workshop of trug makers in Herstmonceux, East Sussex. The local industry thrives on the creation of the renowned Sussex Trug Baskets, which have gained fame far beyond these shores. Skillfully handcrafted from willow board with frames made of chestnut, each trug is a testament to the craftsmanship passed down through generations. The shaping process involves the use of adzes, ensuring that every piece is meticulously formed. The wood used for these baskets comes from nearby plantations, reflecting a deep connection between nature and tradition. The story behind these trugs dates back over a century when Mr. Thomas Smith first began crafting them. Today, his family proudly carries on this legacy as they continue to produce these iconic baskets that have become dollar earners for their community. Although primarily cherished locally, many trugs find their way across the Atlantic Ocean to America where they are highly sought after by discerning customers who appreciate fine craftsmanship. This snapshot captures not just a moment frozen in time but also represents an enduring heritage rooted in hard work and dedication. It serves as a reminder of how traditional industries can thrive amidst changing times while preserving age-old traditions and creating livelihoods for those involved.
