What makes the paper quality museum-grade?
We use 250 gsm (110 lb) natural white paper with a matte, uncoated finish. This archival paper is FSC-certified, ensuring it is acid-free and resists aging, making it the industry standard for high-end fine art reproductions.
Is the frame made of real wood?
Yes, our frames are constructed from responsibly sourced oak and ash wood. They measure 20mm thick, providing a more substantial and premium aesthetic compared to the industry-standard 14mm frames.
How is the artwork protected during shipping?
Each framed print is fitted with shatterproof plexiglass, which is more durable than traditional glass. We ship in robust, secure packaging to ensure your artwork arrives in pristine condition, ready to hang.
What are the exact dimensions of this print?
This specific edition is 70x100 cm, equivalent to 28x40 inches. The 20mm frame adds a sophisticated border that complements the large-scale abstract composition of the Saroyan piece.
Does the print come ready to hang?
Absolutely. Every RedKalion framed print includes a professional hanging kit. You can display your William Saroyan masterpiece immediately upon delivery with no additional hardware required.
