What paper quality is used for this Andre Derain print?
We use 250 gsm (110 lb) archival museum-quality paper. This heavy-weight, natural white, matte paper is acid-free, ensuring the long-term preservation of the artwork's colors without yellowing or degradation.
How is the artwork framed and what are the dimensions?
The print is mounted in a 20mm thick black frame made from solid, responsibly sourced oak and ash wood. This 0.79" profile is sturdier and more premium than standard commercial art frames.
Is the art print ready to hang upon arrival?
Yes. Every framed print includes a pre-installed hanging kit. You can display your museum-quality André Derain reproduction on your wall immediately upon unboxing without any additional hardware required.
How is the print protected during display and shipping?
We use high-quality shatterproof plexiglass to protect the print. This material provides the clarity of glass while being much lighter and safer, ensuring your artwork arrives in perfect condition.
Are the materials used in this product sustainable?
Absolutely. RedKalion prioritizes the environment by using FSC-certified wood and paper (or equivalent), ensuring that your fine art print is produced with responsibly managed forest resources.
