WHAT IS AN ORIGINAL
Original works are paintings / sketches / sculptures creates in a single edition.
Natalie does not create copies of works made even a very long time ago, so the owner of the original work can be sure of its uniqueness.
STORING ORIGINALS
Regardless of the material of creation, the original painting should always be perceived as something extremely fragile and delicate.
We always try to place graphic works, as well as paintings created using water-dispersive paints under glass, as these materials are the least durable, especially if they are not painted on canvas / wood panel, but on paper.
As a standard, each graphic work is secured with a non-alkyd fixative and additional protection from UV rays to extend it’s life.
Try not to hang your originals in direct sunlight, find a cozy place for them in the house, where there will not be a lot of sun.
FRAMING
The sketch has already been framed in a burnt wooden frame, covered with several layers of fixatives and fitted with glass and suspension on the back.
DELIVERY AND PACKAGING
Each original of a small size (up to 60 cm on the long side) is packed in a bubble wrap with fitted thick cardboard on the glass side (if it is already framed and glass is present).
Additionally, the originals are wrapped in black craft paper tied with black twine, sealed with a black sealing wax seal with silver overpaint.
We ship internationally.
Small works can be sent by Russian Post without any problems.
Delivery of large works requires a special approach to shipping and packaging due to the greater weight and volume, as well as the larger glass area.
If the painting was made with oils on a stretcher or wooden panel, it always needs additional protection for the paint layer and the structure of the base, in which case the delivery is calculated separately, because most likely, there will be a need to create a rigid box for a specific painting (with additional weight and other dimensions). With this understanding we recommend DHL / UPS / FedEx services to accommodate with the shipping.
CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY
Original works are always accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, created in English, indicating the characteristics of the work and Natalie’s signature.
