WHAT’S AN ORIGINAL
Original works – paintings / sketches / sculptures in a single copy.
Copies of works written even a very long time ago are not created, so the owner of the original work can be sure of its uniqueness.
SPECIFICS OF STORAGE OF ORIGINALS
Regardless of the creation material, 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 with water-based paints under glass, as these materials are the least wear-resistant, especially if they are painted on paper rather than canvas/wood panel.
As standard, each graphic work is fixed with a non-alkyd fixative and additional UV protection to extend its life.
Try not to hang the work in direct sunlight, find them a comfortable place in the house where they will not get much sun.
FRAMING
The artwork is already framed in a burnt wood frame, covered with several layers of fixatives and fitted with glass and a hanger.
SHIPPING AND PACKAGING
Each small size original (up to 60 cm on the long side) is packed in air – bubble wrap with a stack of heavy cardboard on the glass side (if it is already decorated and there is glass).
Additionally, the originals are wrapped in black kraft paper, tied with black twine, sealed with a black wax seal with silver highlighting.
Small works can be sent by CDEK and Russian Post without any problems (however, for delivery within Russia, we recommend using CDEK).
Delivery of larger works requires a special approach to shipment and packaging because of the greater weight and volume, as well as a larger area of glazing.
If the painting is done in oil on a stretcher or on a wooden panel, it always needs additional protection of the paint layer and the structure of the base, in which case delivery is calculated separately, because. It will most likely be necessary to create a rigid box for a particular picture.
CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY
Original works are always accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, written in English with the features of the work and author’s signature.
