Ready-Made Frames
The same frames we use for our own framed prints — a slim anodised profile used widely in galleries and exhibitions.
Supplied complete with glazing, rigid backing and hanging fittings. Add a conservation-quality white mount and the frame arrives ready for your print to drop straight in.
With or without a mount?
| Option | Choose this if |
|---|---|
| With mount | Your print is one size smaller than the frame. The mount holds it centred with a clean white border — the standard gallery presentation. |
| Frame only | Your print or artwork fills the full frame size, or you cut your own mounts. |
Sizes and mount apertures
| Frame | Frame size | Mount aperture — the print size it takes |
|---|---|---|
| A4 | 21 × 29.7cm | 5" × 7" (13 × 18cm) |
| 24 × 30cm | 24 × 30cm | 15 × 20cm |
| A3 | 29.7 × 42cm | A4 (21 × 29.7cm) |
| 40 × 50cm | 40 × 50cm | A3 (29.7 × 42cm) |
| 40 × 40cm | 40 × 40cm | 30 × 30cm |
| 50 × 70cm | 50 × 70cm | A2 (42 × 59.4cm) |
| A2 | 42 × 59.4cm | A3 (29.7 × 42cm) |
| A1 | 59.4 × 84.1cm | A2 (42 × 59.4cm) |
The aperture is cut slightly smaller than the print so the edges tuck neatly behind the mount.
Colours
- Matt Black — the gallery default. Disappears and lets the work speak.
- Oak — warm natural timber tone. Suits landscape, botanical and softer palettes.
- Oak White — pale and light. Good for pale work and light interiors.
Nielsen make the Alpha range in silver polished, black polished, grey, brushed amber, black oak and wenge as well. We hold the three above; anything else we order in — just ask.
Glazing
Supplied with glass, polished on all edges for safe handling. Museum and UV-protective glazing is available on request.
Delivery
Frames are packed in a rigid box with corner protectors and sent by tracked courier. Collection from our Wokingham studio is free and avoids any transit risk entirely.
